Atlantis Guard - UQdeco2800/2022-studio-2 GitHub Wiki
Inspirations
I got some inspiration from this picture which shows the Atlantis Guard as a sea creature rather than a human guard. This makes it more unique to the context of the game which differentiates a normal Kingdom Guard to an Atlantis Kingdom Guard.
Draft and Iterations
Draft of Atlantis Guard
Above is a draft on how I planned the Atlantis Guard to resemble as by giving it an 'A' necklace to show loyalty to Atlantis and designed its facial features to look more creature-like than human-like.
Iteration of Atlantis Guard
This is an iteration of the Atlantis Guard in pixel form. I added weapons behind its back to signify that it isn't a normal Atlantis Citizen. Its stance is also to show that it isn't lenient towards anyone (friendly or not).
User Testing
I did some user testing where I asked a few other teams on how my iteration of the Atlantis Guard is in pixel form. The feedback I received were mostly positive. Most of them said it fits the theme and it looks menacing like how a guard would be. The only improvement I needed to do was to make it more symmetrical.
