Shape and Scale Character  I am thinking of making my character have an elongated body, since he is a fork, and it will be slender to show that he is sneaky and quick. I am going to make his head/the top of the for a roundish shape to show both energy and innocence like the reading talked about. Also, the top of the character, like a fork, will have points to represent the danger he poses and aggression. This relates to the reading and how it said that if a circular and a star-shaped object were thrown at you, you would hesitate to catch the star-shaped object even if you knew it would not harm you because you relate it to personal experiences and what you relate the shapes too. I will also make his arms thicker than his body to show that he is strong.  Environment  The environment will have round shapes to contrast the character's pointy shapes, to create a dissonance look.

Color Pallete  Character For my character, I chose to go with a red and black color scheme because the character is seeking revenge, is angry, and grieving over his loss.

The reading suggests that reds can be used to show emotions like love, lust, anger, and warmth. It also says that black can represent mystery, evil, and grief.  https://www.color-hex.com/color-palette/8243 https://www.color-hex.com/color-palette/1405 Game Environment  I want the game environment to be cool tones of colors, so it contrasts the dark and angry character. Also, the game is going to take place on a futuristic planet, and the reading suggests that cool tones are used to depict futuristic scenes. 

High Concept Concept 1. Emotion- determined, vengeful, angry 2. Color- Silver and black 3. Shape- skinny  4. Texture- Metal 5. Speed- Fast 6.Size- Medium Mind Map The character is a fast-moving and vengeful thing because of a murderer who killed his family. It is fast because of his slender nature and is determined to get whoever killed his family. The thing is a silver metal looking item.  Thumbnail Sketches Flora These are the thumbnails I made with the pictures above that I found for Flora. Fauna I created a black panther, black snake, and black bear thumbnail from the pictures above that I got from my black animal search. Places I used the keywords "spiky" and "building" as suggested in the reading. Also, I used it as places from my mind map, like the reading said we should. People I tried to make an angry thumbnail with different gestures to prove their emotions. Cl...
