4 Seasons of Dunhuang
This is a character design assignment I created for one of my illustration classes in my sophomore year. I created 5 characters, 4 seasons, and 1 magical child inspired by Chinese relics and Dunhuang, aka Magao caves with Buddhist Murals.
​
Below is my work process for the character design, from thumbnails, and silhouettes to character lineup and finished artwork.
