The challenge
This project is a personal challenge. I’ve given myself the task of creating myself as a non-playable character in a fictional computer game setting. I’d have to take into account what factors would influence my character.
I decided to place myself in the world of Cyberpunk 2077 game. Night City, with its cultural and architectural variety, was an interesting setting to try.
The problem
My personality had to stay as true as possible while also adapting to the different world I’d live in. As an artist, I see myself having a creative job. I imagine the world of digital art would mostly be taken over by intelligent tools and machines. However, I think the art of tattooing would still be alive. I’d probably even focus on promoting the concept of a handmade tattoo experience.
The solution
I created a tattoo artist character that reflects my personality and different influences through her style.
The outcome
I am pleased the final concept has some unique elements, but at the same time, it works well as a non-playable character. The design helps me stand out, but also isn’t overwhelming.
The process:
The process started with simple silhouettes sketches to explore different options.
After choosing the preferred silhouette, I created a moodboard showing the style that would inspire me and also some ideas for the outfit. I also kept my favourtie colours in mind.
In the next step, I sketched three options for the chosen style.
After making the final decision on the outfit, I tested different colour options.
The final render with a highlight on seleted designs of the concept.
