Project Overview
- Project & Role: Character concept design, 3D-ready turnaround sheets, and production workflow documentation for a casual title (“Coraline”).
- Production Methodology: 100% human-directed digital painting pipeline—explicitly excluding generative AI tools to guarantee full authorial control, clean line heritage, and precise production ethics.
Visual & Graphic Details
- Thematic Aesthetic: Stylized 2D character concept art built around classic animation proportions, expressive facial dynamics, and clear silhouette psychology. Accompanied by a 3D-ready orthographic model sheet (turnarounds and T-poses) engineered for downstream sculpting and topology pipelines.
- Palette & Color Semiotics: Soft digital hand-painting featuring smooth ambient occlusion and bold, high-contrast accent palettes (vibrant yellow, deep navy, rich orange, and purple). Incorporates production colorway variations to maintain immediate player recognition and visual readability across diverse game environments.
Software Tools & Pipeline
- Software Used: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator
