At first, I only wanted to design a character with a much simpler design and a more cartoony look. The prompt I gave myself was a word: fruit and the result was the little coconut guy with a leave on its head.
I felt curious about how it would look the rest of the world as if they were for a video game. How would the enemies or the main character look? And how about the rest of the NPCs... For that, I had to come up with a simple synopsis of the video game story:
"The protagonist has to end with a coconut cult that is brainwashing and enslaving the people of a little island. How? Smashing all the cocos"
This is what I've done so far.
