Rita and Murphy were developed as a stylized character duo with contrasting personalities and a shared visual language. The goal was to create characters that felt appealing and expressive while remaining practical for real-time production. From sculpting and topology to texturing and rigging, every stage was designed around strong silhouettes, readable expressions, and animation-friendly results.
Rita’s design balances confidence, warmth, and stylized appeal. Her facial structure, proportions, materials, and expressions were carefully developed to remain readable from both close-up and gameplay distances.

Expression test
Murphy was designed as Rita’s visual and personality counterpart. His shapes, proportions, and expressions create a distinct identity while keeping both characters connected through a consistent art direction.

The facial system was created for a game-ready character rather than feature-film animation. It focuses on delivering a useful range of clear, readable expressions while keeping the rig practical for real-time production.

Both characters were taken through the complete production pipeline, including high-resolution sculpting, retopology, UV preparation, baking, texturing, rigging, deformation testing, and final presentation.

Although Rita and Murphy have different silhouettes and personalities, their proportions, shape language, materials, and level of detail were developed to make them feel like they belong in the same world.
