Character Models for Yomi: Unbroken

My most recent university project was working collaboratively with a team to make a game. The above characters were designed by Spencer Lancaster (Kotone, Akashita and the Oni) and Jade Tubb (Haru). They were modelled, textured rigged and animated by me. We made a game called Yomi: Unbroken, which can be accessed here: https://yanomono.itch.io/yomi-unbroken.

Kotone is the main character for our game. It was really fun to make her and I learned a lot, this was my first time adding correct edge-flow to a character model to make sure that it moved properly during animation. 

This is Kotone animated, this was my first time animating a human character properly. It was a huge learning curve but I'm really pleased with the final result. 

Haru is the secondary main character for our game. She serves as a support for Kotone. Again, I really enjoyed making her. Because of everything I learned from making Kotone, she is much higher quality. I'm really pleased with the results. 

These are the animations I made for Haru. I really enjoyed animating her, my favourite animation is her idle one. Unfortunately, I didn't get the opportunity to animate her hands because I had issues with the bones in her fingers. 

This is the Akashita enemy that wasn't used in the final game. He was really fun to make, I enjoyed experimenting with sculpting and different patterns when I was making him. However, I really struggled with this irregular silhouette and he ended being a little off-model as a result of this.

Here he is animated, due to his lack of limbs he didn't take very long to animate. 

And finally, here is the Oni, the main enemy of the game. I found this challenging because there were a lot of elements to his design that I hadn't made before. However, I think he works well with the rest of the characters. 

Here he is animated.
