Soul Journey

Soul Journey is a personal concept project about a pair of sibling’s adventure through Edona and their quest to find their mother, who suddenly disappeared. Through the journey, the siblings will encounter allies and rivals while discovering secrets about themselves.

I have always been very intrigued by the aesthetics from the eastern cultures and history, their art and styles emotes so many unique expressions and are so different compared to the west.

I mainly focused on character concepts and designs through this project and have taken inspiration from the art, culture and fashion of eastern media (specifically Japan). The story is based during the Edo period of Japan.

The siblings

Ge is the main protagonist of the story, he is the counter part to Mei, gentle kind and mature and a great brother too.

Mother

Ma, a demi human who's a reincarnation of a lotus spider. Though she is not hostile, she is feared for her power and her nature of being.

She is gentle but a fierce soul. Kind hearted and forgiving and a loving mother to her two kids.
