Female Citizen - UQdeco2800/2022-studio-2 GitHub Wiki
Inspirations
Since the game story is inspired based on Ancient Greek therefore I went through drawings of Greek clothings and hairstyles to get some ideas for the designs.
Rough Drafts
Below were several Female Citizen NPCs designs based on inspirations I drew from:
First Iteration of Pixel Art Design and Animated Idle pose
I drew the intial design on 128 x 128 px canvas, nevertheless the design became blurry and lost the sharp details when I scaled down to 64 x 64 px.
Second Iteration of Pixel Art Design
I decided to redesign the female citizen NPC using the same base outline of female citizen NPC of first iteration. Based on the feedback for first iteration, I modified few details like drawing on 64 x 64 px canvas, using more defined edges to be more aligned with pixel art theme and followed the pre-defined colour schemes more closely.
User Testing
I asked for the opinions based on the first iteration of pixel art design for Female Citizen NPC. I received feedbacks that the sprite design did not really fit to the pixel art theme and the colour scheme could be improve more.
