Illustration

Project Brief

The project involved designing and illustrating a unique game character, focusing on developing a distinctive visual identity through shape, color, and style. This included exploring character traits, personality, and narrative role, and translating these concepts into a fully realised illustration that could exist within a game world. The goal was to create a character that was both visually engaging and expressive, reflecting thoughtful design decisions in every element.

Reflection

I created an original game concept titled Casework Chronicles and designed a girl detective as the main character. For her appearance, I chose a brown gingham dress, matching bow, and coordinating shoes to maintain a cohesive colour scheme. Her outfit was intentionally designed to reflect her role and personality. I added a camera and gave her an expression of surprise and curiosity, as if she has just uncovered an important clue. I found the eyes particularly challenging, so used Genshin Impact for inspiration when refining their shape and structure.

Casework Chronicles

Casework Chronicles is a story-driven mystery adventure game that follows a sharp-witted young detective determined to prove herself in a city full of secrets. Players step into the shoes of a brilliant girl investigator who takes on everything from missing heirlooms and strange disappearances to high-profile conspiracies that threaten to shake the entire community. Each case requires examining crime scenes, collecting clues, interrogating suspects, and piecing together timelines. No two mysteries are the same.
