My idea was to make a racing game. Which involved controlling animals with little riders, similar to that of 'Bomberman Fantasy Race'.

Unlike Bomberman, I wanted much more variety. I wanted many creatures, with customiseable options, like clothing, and patterns, different fur styles etc. For example you could have a giant spider with a top hat, or have a chariot pulled by 3 tiny stripped giraffes. This would lead on to a very extensive game, as I think people like to have the option to customise their avatars in games.

I would want the game to be able to have downloadable content so there could be more creatures/riders/chariots/items added constantly.

Firstly you will see reference pictures from the Art of Okami book. I loved the little characters in this and wanted to do something involving tiny people with naturalistic outfits made from bits and pieces.
The next images are by Daphne Yap. In her book, 'Daphne 01' She has outfit designs which are so creative and interesting, they really inspired me to do something a bit off the wall.

You will then see character and creature designs by me, these are rough sketches as this was just pitch ideas, nothing was absolutely final.
