Graphic design

This is a character based on my own shyness towards other people. He is a straitjacket and his name is StraitJack. His arms is covering his mouth and held together with a heart shaped lock on his back, making him unable to communicate with others. But when he meets the right people that have the key to his heart (the lock), he opens up and reveals a BIG smile, and arms that reaches out to hug you! (The illustration was made early in the prosess, therefor the different type of lock)
