Here is my submission for the Mystery Box Challenge, character design segment. These are refined versions of what I submitted, unfortunately I couldn't reach the edit option before it was disabled hahaha.
Anywho, the idea is that this group of characters are on the hunt for the aforementioned Box, sent by their King to search for it. Syrra is not entirely convinced the reason for the hunt is altruistic, she cannot read the King's intent and that raises alarms in her mind. Her team takes this quest because it is the only way to find the truth behind everything, only then can Syrra and her team know what to do with the Box once they reach it. This Journey will push the team beyond their limits with absurd difficulties, one wonders if this Box should even be retrieved.
This challenge was really fun! I always off handedly do the other ones before this challenge, but I think the open ended nature of it really appealed to me. Coming up with a story and characters on my own is always a good time, I hope everyone else felt the same way.
