Last week I used a combination of oil paintings, reprographic paper, crayons, and Procreate to create the concept art for this game, which included concept art of the NPC character Emma and scenes in two separate states: sighted state and visually impaired state.
1. Character concept
a. Sighted state: In the Act I, Jasper and Emma break out into a fight, and Emma, who denies him, briefly becomes intimidating in Jasper's eyes. This illustrates the unstable emotional state he was in at the time, but also simultaneously shows him as someone who is adept at shaping his vision with his imagination, paving the way for his unique imagination when becoming visually impaired later on.
b. Visually impaired state: The Emma that appears in Act II is translucent and smeared, suggesting that she is not an entity, but rather a figment of Jasper's imagination.
2. Scene concept
a. Sighted state: natural style; higher contrast; the casual feeling of the my illustration style
b. Visually impaired state: backgrounds are blurred and subjective in color, only subject matter perceived by other senses/described by others will be more obvious
