Back in 2018, I was working on the early visual development of the game Chorus at the gamedev studio Fishlabs. Have a look :) . I left about 3 years ago, and it finally released, so I was awaiting the moment I get to show off some of my favourites from that time. I had a huge stack of artwork to go through and was agonizing what to put in and what to cut out (maybe you know the feeling). In the end, I dumpstered, like, 90%. Its still a lot, but these are my darlings. I decided I'd show different stages for some of it, too, because I always find that stuff interesting, and maybe you do, too.
These in particular are concepts for the two main characters in the game, the Protagonist Nara and the Antagonist Eris (at least that were their names when I worked on the project, I hope thats still correct :D)

This was one of the last designs I created for the protagonist, Nara. I believe she went through more redesigns later on.
The following artworks were the first design process for the main character. I still like them alot.
The one in the middle is still my favourite.
Here are some concepts for the Antagonist of the game.
