Colour and characters

World on the brink: Initial character designs :)

To give my characters more personality, I’ve picked one main clothing design for each of them from my previous designs and assigned them a signature colour. That colour will show up throughout their menu design and help reflect who they are as characters—like Amirah using purple to suggest leadership and self-worth.

Next, I want to make really simple, stripped-back versions of the characters with small animations, such as blinking, hair blowing, or a subtle smirk. These will be used in an RPG menu mock-up built in After Effects using expressions.

Since I also want to improve my pretty weak JavaScript skills, I’d like to recreate this here as well. It feels like a solid exercise while I keep building out the world of Anke—things like the Mire people, minor characters, and city backgrounds.
