In the Liminality: concept art for a video game (Patreon)

Another character design for generous patron S. A.'s upcoming psychological horror game, "In the Liminality" - now available to wishlist on steam!

This illustration originated from one of the game's original character designs - a shape-shifting girl named Anastasia. She was supposed to turn into a monster with a "mash between praying mantid, moth, wasp, and centipede features" later on in the game.

I started my process by creating a bunch of sketches - of the original Anastasia - and then explored a bunch of insectile body plans...

Rapid sketches of Anastasia done with markers, crayons, and pencil were followed by a bunch of creative arthropod-oid distortions.

We chose this final version to develop further.

The final inked drawing - with different elements for the figure's face, its centipede-like abdomen legs, and the shadow it casts on the ground. Assembled together, it ended up like this:

Digital screentones then refined the whole thing:

Finally, colours!
