Reflection 

The Game Art module has taught me great deal in the process of the design of Character, World Design, Background Story & Prop Design. Where I sketch multiple concept & finding references from other games and other design as well. 

In this project where I focus on the design of the Character from silhouettes to final design the best I could along with designing props and assets such weapons to house along with world creation for my design.

I search for references and design ideas along with brainstorming design ideas where I continue illustrate constantly until I am satisfy with what I have finalize. I particularly find it harder to design the character in 3D Design where decided to pursue on making prop design 3D instead which was much easier.
