Earth Incarnate: Gaia was a student project from 2023. The module covered 2D fundamentals, and the task was to go through the various phases from concept to finished product. I chose to create a concept for Gaia in the style of the game Hades.
First, I created some concepts by hand, and then finalized the finished concept digitally. I studied the art style of Hades closely and analyzed it in detail to replicate it as accurately as possible. I drew significant inspiration from the character art of Nyx and Eurydice, as Gaia is not only a sister of Nyx but also incorporates many natural elements like Eurydice.
