2D Character Design Projects

LOVE.exe

The following designs and concept art are from a college project that consisted of 6 students called LOVE.exe.LOVE.exe was a visual novel, dress up, and quick minigame mobile/pc game that currently consists of 9 love interests that you have to perform a series of minigames in order to gain the best possible outcome of your dates.As the vision holder and lead 2D artist, I designed our game to have a cyberpunk aesthetic and played with various unique clothing styles. Each character is supposed to represent a color in order to make our lineup more visually interesting. I wanted to include various unique fashion styles as well as you pick outfits in the game to impress your dates.

In LOVE.exe you play as a robot that is a companion in this dystopian company used to help humans with their problems. I wanted to include a bonus route with the only other robot you encounter: the shopkeeper NPC

We wanted to include a more personal touch to the game despite being a robot. In the game you get to choose what bot model you'd like to be represented as

After choosing your initial bot model, your bot is represented in a cute, smaller form that you use to dress up in outfits before your dates.

LOVE.exe Gameplay Trailer

Edited by me, I wanted our gameplay trailer to have a very pop, happy theme.

HOLO-DAY DLC

HOLO-DAY Is an imaginary holiday that takes place during the winter in Technocity. New dialogue choices are present in this mode that is unlocked with the new Winter holiday-themed outfit. Each date features a new outfit designed by me, I wanted to keep a theme so I decided to have everyone's outfits reflect their style but have a similar color scheme that reminded me of winter.

Summer 2023 Project

The following designs and concept art are from an unreleased summer 2023 project. Each character had 5 different expressions and three different outfits depending on the scenario.
