Various character specific props The character designs for a visual development project based on the early works of Yoshihiro Takahashi. The goal was to design a cast of characters of the same species, sometimes the same breeds, who look distinct from one another as well as accurate to their real life counterparts. A handful of prop designs were also created for this project.
