What if a simple toy bus was given a personality through a beaming smile and bright colors?
Common toys that are popular with children around this age are transportation toy models. Using the iconic double-decker Bus will give the children a friendly companion to roll around the house. I decided to use the Cars franchise as the inspiration, as they are able to embody emotion and personality with the faces they display on the vehicles.
For my 3D models, I battled between making the double-decker bus in the older version of the model or the newer version of the model. I ultimately chose the older version as it allowed for more room in the window areas for both the eyes and the smile. It also helped for a visualization of how the windows would be placed on the physical model.
