这是我为 Krita 的吉祥物“电子松鼠琪琪 (Kiki the Cyber Squirrel)”设计的吉祥物体型版。此版的造型设计基于 2019 – 2020 年的机能风琪琪。

这张图的草图绘制于 2020 年，当时创作状态不佳，没有画完就搁置了。我在 2025 年时整理旧作品时决定至少把这张图清理干净，有始有终。整体设计风格上没有进行大幅改动，但在透视、动作、结构上有许多细节调整，并按照机能风琪琪的最终设计去除了配色中的蓝色系，并将“好像会吃人”的尾巴改成不会那么容易让人误会的造型。

启动图中的琪琪因为头身比例的关系难以作为素材被复用在各种排版中。我在本图中针对此问题探索了将琪琪改为 2.5 头身的典型吉祥物体型的可行性。我对结果感到满意，但还需要基于这个设计绘制一系列适用于不同场合的贴纸式小图才能实现琪琪作为吉祥物的完整价值。

This is the mascot style version of Kiki the Cyber Squirrel, the mascot of Krita. The design derived from Techwear Kiki (2019 – 2020).

The sketch of this picture was drawn in 2020, during a challenging time for me as an artist. I couldn’t finish it then. In 2025, while sorting through my old works, I decided to clean it up and complete it. The overall design style remained largely the same, but there were subtle adjustments in perspective, pose, and structure. Additionally, to align with Kiki’s final techwear design, the blue in Kiki’s color scheme was removed and the “tail that seemed capable of eating people” was reshaped to avoid misunderstandings.

The splash art Kiki has a taller head-body ratio, which makes it difficult to use in various layouts for promotional/functional purpose. In this picture, I used a 1:2.5 head-body ratio, which is typical for mascots. I was generally satisfied with the result, but I have to prepare more pictures for different situations. And only with that, Kiki can realize her full potential as a mascot.
