Ellie Stone: Games Art 2024-25

  This is the house environment which I made very dark since I wanted the game to be at night. I chose this because in my mood boards a lot of darker colours and themes are present so I wanted to include this in the environment. This is the part in the game where she is starting to find out about things people were hiding from her and the dark story behind the other character.  When making this I changed a few parts because I originally had it in daytime but I wanted it to reflect the atmosphere seen in my mood boards so I changed it to night time so the house is a lot darker with minimal light coming from the outside. This is the room where all of the props would be hidden as you can see 1 of them in this is the flower.  This was how I had the environment at first but I received feedback saying to make the scene a lot darker because of the fact it is night time in this environment.  

  These are my ideas for the different props in the game. These all hold significant meaning to both characters some of these items cause the character to reminisce on their past and some help her on the journey of the game. This is the first prop I made which is a love letter I wrote in Thai between the two characters, which she gets before she dies. Still, she will revisit this letter later on as a way to reflect on their past and it will also lead to other clues later in the game, which will lead to information about who killed her.  This is the flower which is a key prop, as this was their way of connecting and once it is found in the game, it is the point you will know it is completed.  This is another one of my props it is a ripped up photo of them in matching outfits. The photo is specifically ripped down Lawan's face as that will then lead to Malee finding more clues to find out what happened to her. She will discover it was her family trying to not let their secr...

These are my final character sheets for both of my main characters.  I used my mood board from my other post as reference and inspiration when creating these. I looked at multiple styles of traditional clothing and colours to then decide on these colours as I feel it fits them the best.  I also managed to use their facial expressions as part of knowing about each of the characters. I tried to use the same style of traditional clothing for both characters as I did want them to match in some way.  I chose opposite colour palettes as I felt the darker palette fitted the 2nd character much more especially because this is her outfit whilst she is grieving and the other character is in a brighter outfit as that is how she is remembered.    

  This is the character I wanted to have a brighter colour palette and her hair up with a flower in her hair. The colours that the majority of people liked was the orange and pink. I would like to combine both orange and pink, therefore I showed that here and have a darker pink belt with a lighter pink top and orange skirt.  This is the character with the darker colour palette and her hair down. The majority of people liked the 4th one with a slightly lighter top. 

These are the thumbnails for both characters. The one with the flower in her hair I tried to have a brighter colour palette and keep her hair up. The other character I wanted to look darker with messy hair and minimal expression. I chose to do this as the one with the flower in her hair has a happier and brighter personality. So I decided to make her use a lighter colour palette and a happier expression. I also chose a wide range of hair styles I went with a hair style that was up and tidy meaning she spends a lot more time on how she looks and her presentation. The other character I chose her to have a darker expression as well as darker colours as she is grieving in this story but before that her personality is cold except towards the other character where her personality is different.  Once she is grieving she starts to shut herself off from the world making that cold and dark personality come back. I chose a messier but still tidy hairstyle as she is from a rich background, so ...

    These were my first sketches for the characters. I will change the facial expressions as one of the characters will be grieving whilst the other one I wanted to have a blank expression and keep her hair down but make it slightly messy. The other character will have a bright and happy expression.   I included different kinds of silhouettes I did this as I imagine we want to include this the style of my characters. This will also portray how I imagine each characters personality for the story.   I received some feedback after doing these, particularly about experimenting more with facial expressions and  to show more folds in the clothes.
