Sun power themed icons for martial arts game
These icons are images on a set of collectible power chips giving the player various skills in battle. The game was to be called Chi-Warrior, and unfortunately was never finished. It gave me a chance to do a lot of drawing, and the challenge of interpreting many intangible concepts into understandable forms. The game concept was a massive online multi-player world in the vein of mystical martial arts movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, where players could go adventuring with other online players, kill monsters, collect skills and treasure, and of course duel each other.
These particular chips would give the player powers derived from the sun, being a massive ball of flame, a source of heat and worship among other aspects. The game designer took these black and white drawings and adapted them to a 3-d model of a rough metallic hexagonal chip. This example is from the set of Moon powers, giving the player’s skeleton the ability to shatter enemy weapons.
