I wanted to design my own emotions. Here are the main five.
When making the designs, I wanted to make them distinct from me and each other, including not making all of the same gender as me, like Riley's emotions. I still gave them some of my traits and items I own IRL to also not make them too detached from me.
Here are the emotions introduced in the second film.
I'm aware that my design for Anxiety is very similar to Riley's, to be honest I just like her design.
Some bit of trivia that has stuck with me about the first movie, is that in early drafts Fear was the one to travel with Joy instead of sadness, even becoming the bad guy at some point. I was an easily scared child, so the conflict between those emotions did resonate with me. So, I explored that dynamic with mine.
Quick doodle because I wanted to draw them
I want this on my blog
I saw this and said. “this should go on tumblr.” so now its on tumblr.
INFJ: I think we all have like 12 emotions and we all have different ways of using them...
INTJ: (internally) wait what?! I thought we only have 5. Damn you, Inside Out! You liked to me!
