GRADUATION PROJECT 

⸱DARK INHERITANCE⸱

'Dark Inheritance' is my most recent personal project, where I poured all of my creative and skills in character designs. I believe it represents the best of my current abilities and achievements. Consider this as a publication of my achievements in learning arts.

'Dark Inheritance' tells the story of a world haunted by humanity's dark inheritance of reckless technology, a woman born of both human and angelic genes is humanity's last hope. Armed with dual blades, she battles the fallen angels unleashed by genetic experimentation, but as she fights, the line between her humanity and her angelic nature blurs. Will she overcome the darkness within her to save humanity, or will they be forever doomed by their own destructive legacy?

CHARACTER DESIGN 1

⸱SERAPHINA⸱

Seraphina is a design inspired by the archangel Seraphim. She is a pure-hearted girl who wields two weapons that can purify and absorb the energy of fallen beings, including demons and corrupted angels. Seraphina can then convert this purified energy into a blue flame that she can unleash as an attack. 

The weapons she wields are named “BlueFury," and they can transform and storing the purified souls of her enemies, which can then be converted into powerful attacks. The BlueFury can take on various forms depending on the situation, allowing Seraphina to adapt to any challenge that comes her way. Seraphina's abilities make her a valuable ally in the fight against evil, as she can not only defeat her enemies but also bring them back to the light. 

CHARACTER DESIGN 2

⸱GREED⸱

Greed is a bio-robot created by humans, representing one of the seven deadly sins, greed. His body is covered in multiple arms, symbolizing his desire to control everything, and crossed hands on his chest expressing his arrogance. The numerous holes on his body emit corrupting genes, which can manipulate humans and drive them insane. 

Greed is a machine-like humanoid, with a body shape inspired by a fox. He wields two long guns in his hands, which he can throw with deadly accuracy, making them one of Greed's most lethal weapons. His face often carries a twisted smile, displaying pride in his abilities. As the antagonist in the story, Greed was created to control humans and satisfy his own desires. However, his power far exceeded human control and became a threat to humanity.
