Vanilla Bean Character Development
yo!
this is character design development and some worldbuilding of an original character named vanilla bean!
they're a travelling merchant and chef from a fantasy world where people are based on food and ingredients.
i completed this work over the past 11 weeks as part of a university assignment, and i really enjoyed it!!
i hope you enjoy seeing the process of developing them from start to finish :)
