To enhance the character's appeal, I utilized both baby-face bias and contour bias, crafting a collection of stickers to flavor text-based communication. The magpie's head and eyes are designed to be round and large, characteristics often associated with infants, and incorporating smooth, flowing contours, I aimed to elicit a universally appealing sense of adorableness.
The most important function of stickers or emojis is to bring non-verbal communication to virtual interactions. To maximize the effect, I did some research on micro expressions, and try to apply to my character.
Besides being cute and expressive, I also want the stickers to feel like real-life magpies. When I design this character, I closely observed wild magpies, making sure the stickers didn't look like a human in a bird form.
Since 2020.
