Candyland Racer – Character & Environment Design

Candyland themed racing is a colorful platformer game designed for preschool players, combining a sweet candy-themed world with fun, freestyle mechanics that make gameplay accessible for very young kids.
During my internship at Aniric Digital, I created the main character concept and full sprite sheet in Toon Boom for running animations, along with original vector-based in-game assets such as vehicles, collectibles, and props — all crafted from scratch to fit the candy universe.
I also designed the Candyland background, adapting and expanding on a licensed Freepik vector base to build a bright, layered world full of sugary textures and depth.
The project focuses on creating a joyful and visually immersive environment where design, motion, and color storytelling come together to delight children.
