OUT OF YOUR HEAD

Initial Story and Concept

Storyboard

We picked the words forest, footprints, devour, shadow, evil from the word cloud and started to associate the story. I came up with a girl hunter who bravely received a commission to kill the evil monster, but her ego and negligence to a cute dog( disguised by the monster) led her to death.

Character Design

This is the character design I did. I have designed the main character in red. She carries a sword and carries various magic potions that aid her in battle.The design of the boss who gave commission to the main character is elite in feel, so I used a soft color scheme. The monster-disguised dog looks harmless, which is the opposite of the its original creepy looking.

Cursed Necklace(final story)

The final version of the story takes place in a jewelry store at dusk. The protagonist is the owner of this store. One day, a suspicious-looking customer came to sell a necklace. The shopkeeper took it without much thought because the necklace was of good quality. But after she lay down to rest, she dreamed that a monster was ready to kill her, so she woke up in huge fear. After reviewing the surrounding area, she found that there was nothing strange, so she continued to rest, but at that time the necklace that was placed in the cabinet was already around her neck. The concept setting is that there is an evil spirit on this necklace. It will make its owner suffer misfortune or even death. The original owner, who is the customer, sold it to the protagonist in order to free herself from the necklace.

Character design (my version)

I created the first version of the character design, and subsequent adjustments were made by my group members. I designed the shopkeeper as a cute figure, which also corresponds to the point that she lets down her guard on people. Then the customer’s image is the opposite of the sharp and wretched feeling.
