This project began with a simple question: how can a water bottle feel like a character you’d want to carry with you every day? With that in mind, we set out to bring two whimsical personalities to life—a bold T-Rex and a magical unicorn—blending the charm of a toy with the practicality of a bottle that fits seamlessly into an existing product line.
Rather than merely depicting two animals, the goal was to craft characters with presence. We explored shapes, proportions, and subtle details that echo the energy of video game heroes—slight exaggerations, iconic silhouettes, and expressive features that invite play and spark imagination. Each bottle needed to do more than hold water; it needed to feel like a companion.

The journey was as playful as the final designs. Sketches evolved into sculptural explorations where creativity and technical constraints continuously challenged each other. The real task was finding the sweet spot: forms expressive enough to feel alive, yet refined and engineered to be manufacturable and durable.
In the end, the T-Rex and the unicorn became characters that bridge fantasy and function—bottles that tell a story and invite kids to carry a bit of imagination with them wherever they go.
