Assignment 2



Assignment 2 is a professional character conception, in my project plan i stated that i would be creating 2 characters that either suffered from or treated mental illness. In preparation for this i have researched other characters that have some kind of mental condition.

This is Kai from Heavenly Sword, Kai is an unstable personality. She is a young girl but acts much more child like than she actually is. It is revealed later in the game that she was traumatized as a child. She also exhibits signs of some kind of autistic disorder. The artwork reflects her occasional fearful personality and the clothing style and cat like ears reflect her playfulness.

These kinds of character design aspects really help show a characters personality, this generally works better through 2d design o i'm not sure how to get similar things across through 3d modeling. I would figure that would come into play with VO and animation.
