DGU is a 3rd person 3D adventure/puzzle game where the player plays as a student of the Death God University studying to become a death god assistant.
Platform: Steam |Release Date: 2015
I was the character concept artist responsible for creating the art-style and character designs. I worked closely with the Art Director to arrive at the game's final style.
​
We wanted an easily recognizable art-style, popular with a younger audience. Choosing the blocky style made sense as it already has a familiarity advantage with players of Minecraft and Roblox.
The player character is a student in a university where Gods from various mythologies are his teachers. Each mission is handed as "assignments" from these teachers and involves eliminating a target which is based on pop culture icons.
I created the turnaround for the 3D artists. Since most of the characters follow a similar blocky anatomy, this sheet was used as the main reference.
Illustrated this for the Game Map. The player is expected to move across these various locations to complete each mission.
Made a bunch of promotional art to be used in website features and social media.
