CHARACTER DESIGN & ANIMATION
My phone rang: Sardinian television -Telesardegna- was looking for some ideas for new programs. They wanted to make some kids programs. We talked a lot. That’s how I start to design this character.
I’m glad to introduce you to Lia Crabita – a little, playful, and jumpy goat! She’s the perfect guide for kids: she introduces them to local Sardinian traditions, the national historical identity, and helps them create new things using recycled materials.
She doesn’t look exactly like the very first version of her character design, but that’s just because – as often happens with design – the original idea is only the first step in a creative journey that leads to a better and more polished result.
This show marked her first appearance on TV, but she didn’t seem shy at all. And if you can keep a secret… she told me she had a great time and is already planning a comeback!
