LOGO DESIGN PROCESS #2
This is the logo I designed based on the inspiration I received.The logo shall somehow express the idea of the story.The figures in the middle of the circle are the key characters of the whole story.The circle is like a shelter that protected the two main characters from the storm outside.
LOGO DESIGN PEOCESS

Environment one sheet # 1 The kingdom on the peak of the mountain
Emotional Contents:
Unique,Traditional,Defensive,Natural
Environment information:
This is a fortress built on the top of a mountain.It is surrounded by other mountains and forest,thus make it an isolated territory from other nations' malice.She had never fall over to the hand of her enemy.Thought she was invaded by her enemies three times in the history, she still stands firmly with her dignity.
Inspiration:
Just like what I did to the character design ,I imagined a fortress with mixed style.The time setting is still in steam punk era, but the people live there had their unique culture and custom that separated themselves form other contemporary nations. Since architecture represent the culture,the fortress shall be as unique as her dweller.
My first idea is the Tibetan architecture.It is different from the Pan-East-Asian Architectural style,it has her own style due to her peculiar religion and custom. The Potala Palace became my main inspiration since she is the symbolic landscape in Tibet. In addition, there is another famous building that represent the mixture of different culture -- Istanbul.
Istanbul's destiny is similar to the fortress in this story.They are both invaded by exotic forces with a distinguishing culture.The differences between the fortress and Istanbul is that she had never really be took over by the enemy force.

Character One Sheet # 5
Emotional Content:
Dark,Stern,faithful,Non-human
Character information:
Name:
Age:unknown
Gender:unknown
Reference:
They are the royal guardian of the kingdom, the protector of monarchy.They are the symbol of ruling power, and the ruthless force that eliminate any opponent that stands in front of the lord of the fortress.Their identity remains an enigma.No one knows if they are human or not,but historical record reveal that their first appearance on the stage of history was to protect the hero who founded the kingdom on the mountain.
They only follow and obey the rule of the hero,and were fearless to death.In fact,no one,included the hero's enemy,had ever seen the a guardian's corpse in person after a battle.Though the hero's enemy declare that they had physically defeated the guardian in the battle, no one actually believe that the guardian can be killed by a human being.To the hero's enemy,the guardian are like a ghost,they are quiet,still,firm and cruel.They seem to be emotionless, since morale never affect their craftsmanship of war.Their movement appear to be completely controlled by reason without a single waste of efficiency.
The inspiration came from the royal guardian of UK and the SS from Nazi Germany.The guardian of UK give people an impression of royalty,while the Nazi SS gave the mankind a sense of evil and cruelty.The British guardian impress others with their reddish uniform,and that gave my design idea a standpoint.On the other hand,SS,regardless of their role in Nazi Germany,symbolize those who follow order without questions.
Based on these two groups I mentioned above,I will go one step further,trying to apply some steam punk elements to the design.
Art Style:
Steam punk solider inspired by the royal guardian of United Kingdom.
Elite Guard from the game "Dishonored"
SS Uniform
British Royal Guard

Character one sheet # 4
Emotional Content:
Innocent,timid,agile,noble
Character information:
Name:
Age:11
Gender: male
Occupation: The second prince of the kingdom
Reference:
He is a boy born in the royal family.However, he is neither a spoiled kid nor incubated in the green house.Thought his knowledge of the world is limited, his curiosity urges him to explore the unknowns of the nature surrounds him.This curiosity gave him an open attitude toward strangers and exotic culture,and granted him the longing of discovering the world outsides the fortress.
He is the younger brother and agnate sibling of Haiss,who is the lord of the fortress,and the second prince of the kingdom.He also shared the pretty face that Haiss inherit from his parent,and a born courage buried deeply inside his heart that remains uncovered.
Since he is Haiss' younger brother, his appearance is also inspired by some feminine boy in Japanese RPG. For instance,Danzel from Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children, and Joshua in Vagrant Story.As for the costume design,in order to create a sense of mixed culture, I will take inspiration form the royal costume of Qing Dynasty of historical China,mixing them with the modern conception of costume design.
Art Style:
Oriental style costume mixed with Western design idea.The purpose is to make it looks noble and light.

Character one sheet # 3
Emotional Content:
aristocratic,feminine,calm,unflustered
Character information:
Name:Hiatt
Position in the story: Antagonist
Gender: Male
Occupation : The lord of the fortress
References :All the feminine JRPG characters disputed by the western players.
He is the regular type of character you can see in various Japanese RPG. They are too feminine in the eyes of some western players.And this is the situation he will be facing in the story.As the elder son of a legendary hero who founded a kingdom in a fortress on the mountain,he received extremely high anticipation since the day he was born.Unfortunately, he was born with a pretty face and slender body disliked by most masculine people in the fortress.They question his ability to lead,and things getting worse when his father suddenly went disappeared,left the throne and burden to him.In Asia,there was a figure in the Chinese history who had a similar experience.
Gao ChangGong, who share the same trial as him,resolved the problem with his outstanding military genius,won numerous battles for his country,and eventually received the approval from the people around him. Gao was famous for wearing a mask to the battle. He knew he is too pretty as a general and that will make his enemy look down on him.So he put on the mask to deceive the enemy's feeling,gave them the fear generated by mystery and unknown.
Thought Hiatt do not wear a mask, he was able to create a poker-face to seal his true feeling,making it invisible by the exterior world.It is also a priority goal for him to win supporter through splendid action and achievement. This pressure and trial in his life substantially create the complexity of Hiatt's personality.
