casual game design / digital illustration

mị quest

Mị Quest was my personal assignment to practice drawing UI screens for a standard casual game. Harboring the desire to work on projects that are related to the cultures of minority groups, I decided to make a game series based on the fictional character Mị from Vietnamese literature. Because Mị is a woman of the mountainous Northwestern area, I went for the most prominent traits and clothing of the people there to build her identity.

research diary from the project

process: moodboard, sketches, game poster & app icon

I gathered a lot of reference photos from pop cultures in relation to Mị to help me create a moodboard for the character. To stay focused on my original goal during the process, I regularly turned back to these.
