If Animals Had Jobs

This personal illustration series imagines everyday professions through the personalities of different animals, blending humor, storytelling, and character design into a collection of playful portraits. From a raccoon sanitation worker to a decorated military Golden Retriever and a retired housecat, each illustration explores how visual details can communicate personality and narrative at a glance.

The series began with concept exploration using generative AI and was refined through extensive editing and compositing in Adobe Photoshop. By combining emerging creative tools with artistic direction and post-production, each piece was developed into a polished illustration that emphasizes expression, visual storytelling, and imaginative world-building.
