How VaHaas scripts come to life

Our scripts are where our designs get meaning and a backstory through social media and short films and clips fans can begin to understand the characters and build lore about them and their personalities. This is a way for our brand to connect to our audience and create a world for our characters. In the future our animated clips will provide a sneak peek into the bigger universe we are building. The process starts with brainstorming sessions that expand and shift iconic characters you already know, and we really try to change or distort things that major cartoons couldn't give us. We try to incorporate everything from funny moments to plot twists, but we are also still learning so we often go into detail about stories and pitches that might not ever be used. Because VaHaas draws inspiration from iconic cartoons, we have to work very hard on changing the story just enough without losing the main message.  Although we have not produced any animations or clips yet, we have big goals t...

Inside making a VaHaas action figure

VaHaas has always been about taking designs and bringing them to life, recently we have introduced a physical collectible that will be backed by our digital storytelling. While our scripts are still awaiting production our action figures introduce the brand into the real world. So how did we bring these designs to life through plastic? Each VaHaas character is made on a digital platform with many variations and restarts taking place, it could take up to a few weeks to finalize a design. The reason it takes so long is because we don't want our inspiration to be too recognizable from the cartoon icon, we want our design to be different enough that you question its inspiration.  Next we partner with talented 3D modelers who transform our sketches into 3D prototypes. This process is where every detail is extremely hard to finalize, because sometimes 2D images don't necessarily make sense in 3D  form so this process is painstaking because communicating about revisions takes time.

When you were younger did you ever catch yourself while watching a cartoon thinking “I wish he would just do this” or “he should've done that insead.” At VaHaas, we’ve built our entire brand around bringing that same sense of excitement back only this time, we’re adding an edgy spin to what you remember. VaHaas is a home for reimagined characters that reflect childhood icons while focusing on bolder storylines, more mature humor, and a style that the original writers or creators wouldn't give you. It all started when I noticed I was constantly sketching variations of my original character “VaHaas” and putting his face on popular childhood cartoon icons. I’d tweak their features, distort their proportions, and make them look like my character. By reimagining and taking inspiration from these cartoon icons, I very quickly had an entire cast of VaHaas characters, each with a backstory and style that has the potential to grow into something bigger than just a design. With a feeling...
