S ome early character concept designs I've been working on. This is the first stage of the character design process for the project. Here I've thrown down drafts for shape, form and unique characteristics of three of the six crew members of the F/V Scully . Jason Bartlett © This first set of concepts are of the Captain (Left), First Mate (Middle) and Greenhorn (Right). Each member of the crew will have a backstory, of which I hope to capture in their appearances. I've tried to make key features of their character distinguishable and easy to read, yet not overly stereotypical; such as the captain's beard and belly! I aim to tie their backstories into the core gameplay; as with any mystery, you have to uncover information to seek the truth.
