Character Design Sheet:
(Text on the hat translation: Peace in the World)
This is the finished design of one of the feline brothers, inspired by 2 reapers from Taoist myths. (More on the story: https://www.historicmysteries.com/heibai-wuchang-reapers-chinese-underworld/ )
Cats are believed by many cultures to have association with superpowers, they were even believed by some to have '9 lives'. I think they are the perfect fit for this mysterious oriental roles.
Amber and his twin brother Jade represent the Yin and the Yang in Taoism. The brothers always work together and Amber can connect with his Jade using the jade ornament on his collar.
Some process and inspiration:
This is the first complete project done after learning about game development pipelines and character design processes.
I first did research on the Reapers for costumes and stories, followed by an initial sketch of the silhouettes of the cats. I tried to add more distinct details to make the silhouettes easily recognisable. I experimented with some posts using silhouettes before adding in the details using simple line art. After rendering in black and white, I added colours and made drawings of design details.
