Project Background

This project is set in a post-AI-crisis world. To preserve human emotion and natural memories, an AI system called “Eco-Memory Archive” was built. This girl is the last container designed to carry emotional fragments — she is a hybrid of human and machine, embedded with extinct animal memories.

I was deeply moved by the animal stories in BBC’s “Dynasties II” — especially the mother puma, meerkat families, and elephant herds. Their emotional intensity and social bonds during survival crises inspired my concept of the girl as a container for ecological emotions.

Character Design Overview

She can only receive AI’s memory inputs. Her stitched body features memory upload ports, and her skin carries textures and patterns from endangered animals.

Workflow Overview

1.Sculpted in ZBrush with clear muscle structure and facial detailing.

2.Costume designed in Marvelous Designer

3.Texturing in Substance Painter — layered skin, metal scars, and totem textures.

4.Rigging and rendering done in Blender.

Some storyboards I generated with ai

Side Character – Dinosaur D7

Her only companion is a small dinosaur named D7. It is not a real creature, but a projection born from her childhood memory. It “hatches” out of the gap in her archived emotions and stays by her side until her emotional breakdown.

D7 was sculpted in ZBrush, textured in Substance Painter, and rigged in Blender. Its design is inspired by the parasaurolophus, mixed with human-like expressions and childlike proportions.

Visual & Conceptual Style

This character blends ecological perception with mechanical coldness — pale metallic skin, hollow eyes, and stitched totem lines embody her post-human, substitute identity.

Inspiration Board

• BBC Dynasties: inspired the idea of memory-driven animal survival
• Rick and Morty S6E3: substitute consciousness and bodily control
• Love, Death + Robots: Zima Blue and The Witness — post-human identity
• Blade Runner 2049: Joi as an emotional AI projection
• Annihilation: mutated bodies and ecological transformation

Metaphor for Real-World Conflict

he girl also symbolizes the emotional remnants of real-world conflicts. She carries fragments of anger, fear, and grief— much like the ongoing wars today, where countless lives are lost and emotions are left unprocessed. She represents not only memory of the past, but also a cry for peace in the future.

Summary

This project is not just an art experiment — it reflects my thinking on how feelings can be stored. Through her, I explore how fragile yet precious human emotion is in a post-human world.
