HND Graphic Final Major Project

Final Major Project
The final project of my HND Graphics course required me to select a brief from the D&AD new blood briefs competition. The brief I decided upon was issued by game developer Rare. The target of the brief was to create a multiplayer game concept which followed in the footsteps of their previous titles. 
Science Fantasy Game Concept
The game concept I created was a massive multiplayer online role playing game, which combined themes of science fiction and fantasy. I created several conceptual works which demonstrated potential character designs, magic and game play.
Character Design
I  created a number of character designs, each sheet contains a set of male and female characters, each pair a member of one of the six different race. I tried to demonstrate clear aesthetic differences between each race that reflect elements of their culture. The Giants wear multiple layers and furs to show they are born in extremely cold rough environments. And the ghouls wear skull masks and wear darker clothing to show their dark and evil nature. I also included a sheet which shows potential character customisation. I utilised a basic shading style which admittedly could have been expanded however I am happy with designs overall. 
World Map
Pixel Sprites
The magic of this game is represented through pixel art, which is meant to contrast the more traditional cartoony style of the characters. I created a few different design which i am extremely happy with. The designs are simplistic and communicate their purpose well.
