It's a bird, it's a plane, it's concept art!
Projects I've done for school! Consisting of two projects and matte painting pieces. These were done in a span of a year.
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's concept art!
LIGHT
Light is an IP about an adventure in the afterlife for Basic Concept Design class.
Annika
Set, during the time of the Russian Empire, the story follows a little girl called Annika who fell into a coma after an accident. I designed her attire based on the lower class people of that era.
It took me awhile to figure out how to make unique shapes for the character. I experimented with various shapes and forms while sticking to the keyhole silhouette because I want her head to stand out. I ended up with the one with a slightly sharper shape because it fits her personality.
Ziya
During her coma, her spirit enters the afterlife and meets a spirit guide called Ziya.
Amur lemmings: Wild hamster-like species native to Russia
Storks: In Slavic mythology, they deliver unborn babies from Heaven.
Bear: One of the symbols of Russia.
The tip of his tail resembles a candle wick for an extra touch.
The Gate
This building is a mirror gate building with an onion dome. It's a gateway between the afterlife and the mortal realm. This is where Annika's journey in the afterlife ends.
In Russian culture, mirrors are believed to be a portal to the afterlife. Hence, the mirror gate. While onion domes, a significant design in Russian architecture, are believed to be candle lights and a passage to heaven.
Isn't She Lovely
Concept Art
A collaborative project between my friends and I for a Concept Art class. The story follows a mermaid who has taken refuge on a neighboring planet after the destruction of hers. She has to her true form as the by containing herself in a magical glass ball as the people of this planet are not friendly to her kind.
I was in charge of designing a side character called Marquise, who is a noble and friends to the princess of the planet. She takes part in bullying the main character. I also designed a creature, machine, prop and environment for the world building.
