# Project Description 3D Character Designs for Game Concept Safiyya Najami Summary Final work My name is Safiyya Najami. I am an illustrator aspiring to work in the entertainment industry, specifically in games, graphic novels and animation. I study Illustration and Visual Media at London College of Communication and I graduate this year in 2025! My work often tells human tales, and I love designing characters and fictional worlds. I gravitate towards immersive media, especially when combined with fiction as I feel that immersive media intensifies our ability to connect with the stories being told, and I love to escape a little when consuming entertainment!

College London College of Communication Course BA (Hons) Illustration and Visual Media Graduation year 2025 While researching the various design flaws that female video game characters may be subjected to for my dissertation, I came to the conclusion that the problem with female character design is not one exact visual detail that can easily be solved, but a combination of factors within a game such as design, context, dialogue, narrative significance, and how a female character compares to her male counterparts in a game. Games also don’t exist within a vacuum, and have been influenced by centuries of misogyny and gender roles that have heavily factored into negative portrayals of women in games. This is why, for this project, I decided to give designing well-rounded female video game characters a shot. Instead of claiming to solve anything, my goal for this project is simply to contribute intentionally (avoiding the problems I researched) to female video game character design with 4 3dDmodelled character concepts Final work Mariposa Character design (3D Model) Mariposa is agreed by all to be the most dependable guard in Sylvanhold; a kind and capable guard who can’t turn a blind eye to someone who needs help. Her arms are extremely strong and she has spiked armour to take down forest monsters with tackles, punches and kicks, As Sylvanhold’s favourite knight, she’s been invited to participate in the plot against Krysalor, but if she had to be honest, a deity who forced people to stay good didn’t sound too bad to her. She’s seen pure evil after all. Marina Character design (3D Model) Marina Mage is one of the most intelligent members of the Neridian Arcanum; an exclusive group of the most intelligent magicians in all of Neridia. Marina’s seahorse tail is considered a deformity, and was a mystery to her and her parents all her life. Her angler-fish helmet was a personal decision on her part as she put it on to symbolise her acceptance of her deformity. She was ridiculed by many of her academic peers, but she was personally invited to join the Neridian Arcanum due to her genius intelligence and advanced magic capabilities. Due to the recent virus spreading through the sea, more and more cases of merforlk being born with seahorse tails have been popping up, and Marina is desperate to learn the truth about her past, and she can’t shake the feeling that something sinister is happening. Only issue is, the Neridian Arcanum has strictly banned private investigations into the spreading virus claiming that investigation would be too dangerous. Would she throw away everything she’s ever wanted to find out the truth? Krysalor Character design (3D Model) Krysalor is a deity-type omniscient character. She’s like a grim reaper in that she’s a bridge between life and the afterlife. She was cursed eternally by the previous deity with the task of observing human actions and maintaning a balance of good and evil strength in the world. She hasn’t needed to be involved in human affairs for centuries but due to the desert region’s concerning and threatening actions as of late she was forced to awaken. This was an intentional move from the desert region who wanted to awake her to harness her power as the strongest being in the universe.
