Concept
Our idea behind the first GIF was to represent Taraji P. Henson’s character Cookie in the show Empire as a somewhat feisty saint.
Someone who’s a martyr/mother who comes to rescue her family from themselves but also someone who throws her sainthood out the window if you step on her toes.
Being this a show about a record company we chose to represent her defiance through the iconic symbol of the golden record positioned behind her as if it was an halo that suddenly breaks when she is provoked.
Afterwards we took the same idea and drew and animated the rest of the family in the same style to create a cohesive collection.
The story behind
Originally, the project started with a GIF featuring Taraji P. Henson as Cookie Lyon to be shared on social media during the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards.
As the project expanded, we were commissioned to create and animate the entire Lyon family, capturing each character’s essence in a dynamic and engaging way. The animation adds depth and movement, bringing the characters to life for fans and animation enthusiasts.
This collection highlights our skill in transforming beloved characters into visually striking art, and we’re proud to have contributed to this project.
