Tove Redaelli – Hippocampus – 5SD037 The Main Character for Crown of Creation For the last two weeks, I have been developing concept art for a game called: Crown of Creation together with my group. This game is meant to be set in a fantasy environment covered with gigantic crystal birches. The creatures living in it including the main character are parasitic insectoids. As a graphical artist for this project, my first task was to come up with the concept art for the main character. I began with sketching out thumbnails of different ways for the character to look that I later showed to the group. We then decided on what visual traits we preferred the most. As the game is going to be played from a top view, we realized that making the character into a spider would be easier to display from a top view rather than having a humanoid character. I proceeded to draw sketches of spiders. However, as my group discussed the look of the main character further on we decided that a humanoid character would be more appealing to play with, despite the perspectival challenge. I then scrapped the spider and created a new character from the start, this time I made a humanoid with a spider body. To separate the main character from the bluish enemies the colors for the main character are in a red hue. To summarize the process of working with the main character I am content. I had to do some major changes in my work because of miscommunication and the whole team not being present for making decisions at all times, which also has led to an important learning outcome for me. During the first two weeks we all mostly worked on our own. Now that we have meetups every day I feel like there is a clear difference in the quality of our work and that communication is much faster and more efficient.
