Cookie's Room was one of my first attempts at creating environments or architecture so I started out with a simple concept. I was inspired by the "Chill Lofi beats to study to" radio stations on YouTube, where the screen would be a looped animation of a semi-animated character in a lavish or comfortable scenery. So I drew my mascot, Cookie, in her room.
I tried to be strategic with the room design - I wanted certain qualities of a typical girly girl's room. To make it comfortable, I modeled her bedroom after motel rooms, a place of solitude and privacy. I drew items and objects personal to her. I wanted people to see the room of a student (notebook, stationery), an athlete (soccer ball, dumbbell, numbered sports jersey), and an academically focused girl (trophies).
Just for fun, I also put little easter eggs in a couple of the posters; The soccer player is Naoya, another original character from my IP "Nueva Cambria", and the diva/singer is Roxxi, Naoya's girlfriend.
