Sword of Dissonance - Degene

This post begins a series of conceptual work I've done for my Academy of Art Thesis project, titled "Sword of Dissonance." The project was a "game-oriented visual development body of work" based on an original story. It's a fantasy work I began for my Creative Writing class, which they suggested I pursue for my Thesis :)

The story follows Degene, a knight on a quest to find a cure for his companion Rinn, a mysterious young woman afflicted with a curse that renders her mute. A simple premise, but things do get more complicated as their quest progresses :D

To start off, the main character of my story, Degene.

SoD - Degene (Exploration)

Turnaround, Expressions and Design Explorations for Degene.

SoD - Rinn

The supporting protagonist of my story, and my personal favorite :) She's actually mute, so I gave her a flute as one of the few methods available to her for communication.

SoD - Rinn (Exploration)

Further exploration for Rinn.

SoD - Synthios Sword

The main character's weapon, from which the story's title is derived. It's a magical sword that transforms, dependent on the protagonist's mental state.

SoD - Valitere

The Jafar-ish advisor in my story, supporting the protagonist from the shadows.
