CONCEPT PROJECTS
Characters, objects, and Perspective Environments, 2021-2023
An essential aspect of storytelling through illustration involves the refinement of characters. Here I offer a glimpse into the initial phases of character development, extending beyond initial personas to encompass the use of objects and characters within immersive environments. This approach serves to enhance the depth of the characters' narratives, contributing to a more enriched portrayal. Additionally, I showcase character turnarounds to provide a comprehensive perspective of the characters developed for my conceptual designs and visual narratives.
