Dawn stands at 5’5” and, as majority of Dokona citizens do, wears standard clothes when in public. She keeps her hair as long as possible - purely a personal choice! Her ears are like those of a cow or deer, drooping slightly on the sides of her head and often giving away her current emotion.

Sandy cat sprite sheet, Procreate. Fall 2024.

A more in-depth sprite sheet compared to the one below, this explores a simple character in multiple stances. The sandy cat here was part of a brief concept for a cat-oriented exploration game. He would be customizable and able to interact with the world around him, collecting clues to piece together a town’s strange history. Keep a lookout for a full concept someday!

Pixel cat sprite sheet, Procreate. Fall 2024.

This grey kitten was apart of some early game concepting and eventually reworked into the sandy cat above. I created a brush in Procreate for this specific project to achieve the “pixel art” look, keeping symmetry and continuity of the design throughout movements in mind.
