Synopsis
My projects focus lies in studying an existing intellectual property’s art style and identity and learning how to adapt my work to this established style. The property I am studying is the popular competitive first person shooter game Valorant, created by Riot Games. I am breaking down Riot’s unique approach to character design, map creation, graphic design and much more and learning how I can pay homage to Riot’s unique visually striking flair in my own designs. As for my practical work I am creating a brand new character concept for the game as well as designing their various in-game abilities, I am also be creating concepts for a new map from the ground up as well as a unique weapon skin pack for the game alongside a bunch of extra content such as player cards and promotional artwork.
