Varadigm
Varadigm is a proof-of-concept game centered on three main characters from a story set on the planet Varadigm, a world under invasion by a species of space-faring cats seeking to strip it of its resources. The exhibition includes three character reference sheets featuring character bios, turnarounds, and studies, as well as a screen displaying 3D models of the characters.
The goal of this project is to define the game's core cast as the concept moves toward full development. I drew inspiration from contemporary media to better understand character creation and visual storytelling. The expressive studies and detailed reference sheets highlight each character’s distinct personality, while the 3D models serve as a visual extension of the designs.
What began as a simple concept grew more complex as I refined the reference sheets and expanded each character’s depth. Throughout this process, I strengthened my skills in layout design and illustration, particularly when creating turnarounds with more dynamic and challenging perspectives
