The 1950s aesthetic certainly brings some charm to the refrigerator, while I've also experimented in bringing some life into the character with some reactions. Although, I am slightly concerned whether this design feels a little too cute for a cantankerous character. The little character found in some of the sketches is a story element I'm considering for the main object of the refrigerator to play off with.
While exploring some different shapes and designs, another interpretation involves subtly suggesting a face with the arrangement of drawers and handles. Additionally, with the story component of cantankerous, perhaps a square and more menacing demeanour would work well in capturing the element of the cantankerous, despite it feeling a little less aesthetically appealing.
Thoughts and feedback welcome.

Hi Leo - you're right to be cautious about the cute factor - but, the drawing immediately above in the top right cuts the cute with a bit of decrepitude - and it's beginning to work. I think you need to think of your fridge as a bit like Carl from Up...
I see, will definitely try to push this further. Carl is certainly cantankerous to begin with, and rightfully so! Thanks for the feedback Phil :)
