Visual Communication - Bachelors
Character design is a kind of conceptual design. The artist presents the abstract "concept" of a character concretely through the form of image vision. Character design is more than just drawing a character. It needs to convey a lot of important information about the character. In visual arts, character design is the full creation of a character’s aesthetic, personality, behaviour, and overall visual appearance.
Minami was born into a powerful family, and the legend is that her ancestors made fortunes in the cloth trade during the great voyages. But because of the outbreak of war, people need armour and leather instead of cloth, and the family gradually weakens. Until one day, the flames of war spread to her hometown. As a child, she escaped this long slaughter of innocents by spending time in the wild searching for new weaving material for her family’s work. At this time, a wandering samurai passed by saw Mipo full of pity and decided to teach her how to survive. Ten years have passed, and she has mastered peerless force. Years of training made Mipo’s vengeance slowly dissipate. One day, the wandering samurai disappeared from Mipo’s side, and the 21-year-old Mipo decided to follow her master and embark on her wandering path.
