Aza — Character Design & Visual Development
Video Game Character Concepts · Visual Identity · Illustration · Logo Redesign
Aza is a fantasy action RPG developed for PC. I contributed to the game’s visual development by designing core character illustrations, elemental variants, and in-game visual scenes. My work focused on translating gameplay mechanics into clear visual language through color systems, dynamic silhouettes, and expressive character poses. In addition, I redesigned the game’s logo to better align with the fantasy tone and visual identity of the world.
Logo Redesign
The AZA logo was redesigned to better reflect the game’s elemental combat system and narrative tone. Sharp, angular letterforms convey strength and tension, while glowing highlights reference the game’s energy-based abilities and visual effects. The high-contrast palette ensures clarity across in-game interfaces and promotional assets, allowing the logo to function as a cohesive extension of the game’s world and visual identity.
Sample Scenes & Visual Inspiration
These sample scenes were created as visual references to guide the final character illustrations. Each scene explores lighting, color atmosphere, and elemental effects to capture the tone of combat moments within the game. The scenes informed pose, energy effects, and mood, helping translate in-game mechanics into polished character visuals.

Character Illustrations
The character illustrations for AZA were designed to visually communicate each character’s elemental abilities and role within the game. Color, lighting, and pose were used intentionally to reinforce gameplay mechanics, with clear silhouettes and dynamic action stances for readability in both in-game and promotional contexts. Each illustration balances personality and power, ensuring the characters feel distinct while remaining visually cohesive within the game’s world.
