Making a Character to be Played

The Everdream
A downloadable game

It’s subtle, but the spin of the gold detailing on his robe, then bouncing ears and the waving tail are legible movements even from afar.

One other thing to highlight, in making this character I decided that a good way to separate overlapping shapes was to make the furthest from the front a darker colour, to keep the simplicity whilst maintaining clarity. 

To keep him as eye catching throughout the game, I will have to always keep him in account when making new assets and characters or directing the design of the environments, so any time I open a new canvas he’s always sitting there in the corner for me to grab and move him around.
