I haven't posted much work here that wasn't directly for a submitted assignment, so over Winter Break I'd like to go back and revisit some of the work I did RPP and other projects that never made it to the blog!
For Production for Media, the cohort was broken into large teams and had to create game pitches for a non-American audience. The team I was on pitched 'Champions of Ashe,' a stylized arena-style PvP aimed at a Nigerian audience. The artists on the team made some great concept work for this project - I drew 4 cards depicting the 'Archetype Orishas' that the player would be able to choose between (these would determine the player's weapons and abilities for a match).
This project was inspired by the Yoruba religion, which tells of many Orisha (powerful spirits), popular in Nigeria and the surrounding regions. Each Orisha has certain elements, powers, colors, accessories, and history associated with them, which I tried to incorporate into the designs. If you don't know much about Yoruba, I would encourage you to do some research - I did a lot of reading in preparation for this project, and it was really neat to delve into such a colorful tradition!
Here is a slide from the presentation for context (slide put together by Audrey, and circular abilities at the bottom of each card made by Cameron), followed by close-ups of each card.
