A set of characters I designed for Artstation's Feudal Japan: The Shogunate Character design challenge. Challengers were assigned to design a set of 8 characters (Shogun, Samurai, Ninja, Daimyo, Emperor, Geisha, Peasant and Yokai). For this project I took a realistic approach trying to use accurate clothing, tools, weapons and color palettes.
