Shiorei - Sovereign of Hollow Strings Concept Art
This leaflet showcases a selection of my character design, visual development, and worldbuilding projects. Featured on the cover is Shiorei, Sovereign of Hollow Strings-an original undead puppet ruler who commands skeletal marionettes while searching for the mysterious force that turned her into the first marionette. The project explores the complete design process, from early concepts and narrative development to final production-style presentation.
This promotional leaflet presents selected portfolio projects, highlighting my skills in character design, visual development, and worldbuilding for games and interactive media.
