In short
Ghost Boy started as a personal reminder that nothing lasts — but what you make can outlive you. To create is to leave a signal. To not create is to become a ghost.
Origin
Create or die is the way of Ghost Boy.
Ghost Boy is a symbolic character born from the tension between presence and disappearance. He began as a personal reminder that nothing lasts — but what you make can outlive you.
The model sheet is the foundation: proportions, palette, and range, fixed before the stories get told.
Building a character
- 01
A silhouette you can draw from memory.
A square skull face, two tall eyes, and a body that drips. Recognizable at any size, in a single colour.
- 02
Range before story.
The model sheet fixes proportions, line weight, and a four-colour palette, then stress-tests the character across eight expressions and a set of poses — from floating idle to lying down.
- 03
A world, not a mascot.
Ghost Boy lives in places — a night street, a bedroom, the sky — so he can carry stories rather than just appear on things.
NoteMore of the world — story, environments, objects — is in progress.
