Although Vibri might enjoy trampoline regardless of unwanted occupants, Teri would have rather wished for something more compliant with sanitation guidelines!
It wasn't easy to come up with a compelling setting to feature both of my all-time favourite cute characters - luckily, Vibri's second game Vib-Ripple was insane enough to make it work. Even then I had to find middle ground - while Vibri exists predominantly in abstract environments, Teri exists almost solely in photorealistic ones.
Despite such differences, Teri and Vibri aren't that far apart design-wise: both have a minimalist simplicity to them that was executed in a very clever way - producing communicative cuteness out of a being that, in a physical sense, consists of almost nothing.
Medium used: watercolor (as well as lack thereof), 42cm x 56cm watercolor paper.
