Queen Isolde (Pixel Art and Gifs)

This is a pixel art rendering of one of the characters in the video game project, Queen Isolde. The image acts as a concept art design of the character, but also the image would be made use of as an in-game model occasionally, as the face section of this image would be used as the characters icon during sections of text. The entire image may also be used in the introduction of the game while elaborating the backstory of the game, which includes Queen Isolde being one half of a civil war which makes up the greater bulk of the games story. I am very happy with how this pixel art design came out, as I believe that the design for the character is quite unique and interesting, with a bold and eye-catching colour scheme that is suitable to a royal character as it includes very regal colours of burgundy and gold. I am very happy with how the shading has come out, as I believe it makes the character look far less flat and two-dimensional. I am also happy with the creases and shading on the gown which I believe have come out quite realistically. 


This is a pixelated sprite version of the character of Queen Isolde. This sprite is how she would generally be represented in-game, as most characters would be. While this pixel version is much smaller and more compressed, and there is less space for elaborate designs, I still believe that this is a fairly faithful rendering of the character shown in the concept design, and that the character would still be fairly noticeable and identifiable among other pixel characters. I am quite happy with how the pixel figure itself looks, and the shading on the character and on their outfit has come out very well and given them a great deal of depth. 



This is a moving gif version of the character of Queen Isolde, still as a pixel sprite. This would most likely be her idle animation in-game, and consists of her fanning herself, with the veil of her headdress fluttering, and her blinking. I believe the animation of this gif is fairly fluid and slow-pace, which is what I was hoping to achieve with this gif.
