COSA NOSTRA is an original character concept inspired by the hierarchy and visual culture of organized crime. Designed as the leader of a powerful mafia family, the character emphasizes dominance and authority through exaggerated proportions, a strong silhouette, and carefully considered costume details. The development process involved extensive shape exploration, expression studies, and visual iterations to establish a unique personality and narrative presence. This project investigates how character design can convey social status, power dynamics, and storytelling through visual form while supporting a stylized animation production pipeline.
