Héritage - Storybook Illustrations
These illustrations were made for a game we are making for university, called Héritage (previously known as Encagé). The protagonist carries a journal with her which tells the story of her past, thus helping the players understand the plot of the game with each new memory unlocked. This 'storybook' of sorts serves as an introduction to the protagonist's past and with each new memory/page unlocked, it reveals an interesting narrative. These illustrations are for the introduction part of the narrative.

All the final lineart I did. Some of the pages were originally sketched by my teammate Naomi Dubreuil and cleaned up by me.
Some L1 thumbnails and quick concepts I did for the pages of the storybook I worked on.
Some L2 and L3 sketches before making the L4 quality lineart.
A few explorations I did.
Storyboards that were meant to be for a cinematic, but we ended up doing the storybook instead.
Timelapse of a page where I make sure to follow the art style of the illustrations by using an example.
Timelapse of a closeup shot of shop counter.
Timelapse of shop interior with dad behind the counter and client.
Timelapse of pose sketching.
