Hi Everyone, I'm a concept artist from Montreal and I'd like to share the work I did for an IP which is now being turned into a small scale game in Unreal Engine 4.

Really love the character work, mind sharing any of your thought process while you were creating some of these or design philosophies you kept in mind more than other?

Sure, glad you like the work.

I start by identifying the character, take Mai. For instance, she's a rowdy girl, assertive, partly Tom boyish, and tends to provoke or show off.

What I do next is I make poses that show that at best. What helps is their classes, brawler in her case let's me pose her like a fighter in some ways.

I did that for all the characters as best as I could. In brief, I portray their personality beforr their class.

Hope it helps.

Don`t know if anyone is interested but I just released a playable game of this, it was done with a team at university for our end of bachelors

Great work! I like the variety of characters and each one has its own personality.
