About the Artist

Manrou Zou is a student at Manhattan Early College for Advertising. She was born in Dubuque, Iowa and currently lives in Queens, NYC and is of Asian descent. This is her second time as an intern for the Character Design program with Creative Art Works and FunPlus, and this is her third multimedia experience she has ever had. She chose to join this program because of the skill sets she could acquire and she was hoping to learn how to draw better digitally. Manrou feels like the best thing in that internship was that she could have more time to do something she enjoys. She is good at studying, reading books, and trying new things.

Final Character Design

I am happy and satisfied with my final design. From the beginning of the design process, I had Nana Wu missing an arm, and having blood to recreate her limbs. I have learned that after creating this final design, you can definitely get attached to a character.
