NPC key art for “Vixoula” the leader and matriarch for the player characters. She’s an explorer, scientist and “space mom” to all the Star Lancers. This art was to be used for dialogue interactions during narrative sequences.

Design notes: I used round, friendly shapes to create that strong, warm feeling of a maternal figure. I was also inspired by sea mammals like dolphins and whales, with their oval, rounded forms. I enjoyed exploring the many different aspects to her character, from her royal lineage with her beautiful hat and shawl, to her newfound role as explorer and scientist. She even is hiding a scar from magical battle damage from the teased cultist enemy faction.
