Who is Sulley?
Sulley exists partly as a technical demonstration. Pixar had wanted to animate convincing fur for years and could not, and Monsters, Inc. was built around finally solving it — the character carries somewhere over two million individually simulated hairs, and shots involving him took vastly longer to render than anything the studio had attempted. What makes him more than a showcase is the premise underneath: he is the top performer at a company that harvests children's screams for energy, and the film is about him discovering that the entire industry he excels in is built on hurting people. The relationship with the child who wanders through his door does the rest. Pete Docter has said the story came from thinking about the monsters he believed were in his own wardrobe as a boy, and asking what their job was.

What Sulley looks like on a shirt
Signature motif: A large blue-furred monster with purple spots and small horns
Blue with purple spots is a pattern rather than a badge, which makes all-over and spotted treatments work. His enormous rounded silhouette pairs naturally with Mike's small green sphere, and two-character designs are the dominant format for this property.
