Game Background Artworks and Sketches

These are some of the background artworks & sketches I have created for the side-scrolling game.


First, let's start with the map of the cruise:

The story of the game mainly happens on the 11th and 12th floor of this cruise ship. If time allows, it would be wonderful to expend the story's happening place to other floors, but in the meantime I'll focus on these two floors.


The game starts from the protagonist's room:

In order to take the elevator, the protagonist will first go through the corridor:

Early Design Sketches

These were the early sketches I have done for Kirsikka, Stella and Elize and an unnamed magician character. The first 3 were shown in class in my second presentation.

Sample Character Sheet

I organize my finished character drawings by placing them on a sheet like this. Since it is important to keep their image size constant in the game, this way it is easier to draw my character in same height.

Character Standing Pose

These are the character standing poses that will appear in the game.
For the meantime I do not plan to animate them, except for some minor movements in the face like blinking and changing expressions.
