Lila Jones - Character Design and Animation

In my third year of university, I was tasked with creating a group of three or more characters that were unique while still feeling cohesive

In gathering references and creating moodboards, I came to the theme of Gods. Especially inspired by Norse mythology

I then proceeded to go through the process of creating thumbnail silhouettes and sketches to generate ideas for these characters. From there I picked four different character ideas to develop with the end result of a piece with key art of the character as well as several expressions

These are some of the pages from my process, the entire project can be found on my ArtStation - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/14Aaee

Another project I took on in my third year of university was to work with a team to create a game of our choice

We decided to create a 2D metroidvania puzzle-platformer called V.O.I.D. You play as an engineer with a gauntlet that can control gravity who must infiltrate a facility to contain a black hole and save the world

I took on the role of character designer and animator. You can find our game and the rest of the team on our itch page - https://ghost-leak.itch.io/void

Above you can see the individual sprite animations of the main character Gin. Each were created in Procreate at 12fps before being imported into Unity as individual png sprite frames

On top of creating the character and animations, I also created the VFX and promotional materials for the game. You can see these in-game and in the trailer I made for the game below
