After the Rain reimagines Zero as a quiet, serious boy who finds calm on rainy days, sailing a paper boat through the puddles. His love of sewing reached his furry friends. He has hand-stitched matching butter-yellow raincoats for Null and Fenix, patched seams, mismatched buttons and a little heart, so the whole set carries his mending spirit.
The toys nest like Russian dolls: Null (a soft grey plush bear) and Fenix (a fuzzy fennec) are faux-fur shells that split down the centre to reveal Zero inside as a smooth, glossy vinyl figure, that soft-versus-shiny contrast is the heart of the design. Zero keeps his signature traits: dark circles, four fingers, mismatched socks, raindrop earrings and his calm expression, with clear-resin rain droplets and a wet-look navy bob.
Two variations are shown for Null and Fenix, plus colour and material callouts and a 3D sculpt I modelled and rendered in Blender to prove the figures are production-ready.
