Final Project & Portfolio
Final Compilation & Reflection
Before starting on explaining on the art assets that I've been made,
here's a summary of the Inspiration and References that I use on doing my
game.
Basically, the main points / features that I want to show on my art
are;
Indonesian (Java focused) and fantasy / whimsical vibes.
1. SKETCHES - DURING PROPOSAL PHASE
(Start: Week 7) -
1.1 Characters
Since the first submission of game development started to approach, I
began to create some sketches to show my ideation better. So I decided on
doing the ideation of the characters.
Since I know myself well that I'm not really talented on doing sketches
digitally, I decided to start off with doing sketches manually on paper
and scanned it.
Upon doing so, I also started on planning my level design by sketching
things off, and here're the sketches I made during week 7:
From the sketches I did, I decide to include sketches of the main stages
as part of the proposal, and here's what I made:
Also doing for the items as well.
Here's the full part that I put on the proposal:
2. DIGITALIZATION - DURING PROTOTYPE PHASE
(Start: Week 8) -
As the individual learning week started to approach, I started to do my
art asset digitalization little by little. Starting off with the main
character.
I was confused on which color vibes should I go with, the red one or the
purple one. But since I was planning something whimsical, magical, vibes I
decided to move on with the purple vibes although red looks more Javanese
cultured vibes. (as you can see on my color palette here)
So yeah, I move on with doing the boss, so here's how it looked like.
Also doing on the items (I forgot to screenshot my working files but here're
the one I used for prototyping phase)
I also managed to make 2 background of the stages (with just 1920.1080 size since I didn't know how big I need.) So upon doing the backgrounds, I need some heating XD. To be honest on doing the first background, I need some time to wake up my drawing skill, so I need to do it more than 1 try, as you can see here, the difference between the first attempt and second attempt:
(fyi upon doing the first attempt I did quit halfway and cried X'D)

Moving forward to the other stage, this time I tried the Stage 1. I started to grew my drawing motivation upon completing the second attempt. I managed to did the second background:

After finishing on the Stage 1 and 3 background, I decided to make the final boss stage. I planned to do the Stage 2 later since I think it's not the priority yet for now (since stage 2 has a lot of details). This one I referenced the layout from another drawing.

3. FINALIZATION - AFTER PROTOTYPING PHASE
(Start: Week 14) -
To be honest I started a bit late for this section, but I'm relieved and quite satisfied with the art output.
Since after the prototyping phase I was unavailable for 1 week to do my uni's work, I come to start at week 14. Also, truth to be told, I tried to prioritize on fixing my game mechanics first rather than doing the art assets. After the game mechanics are 80-90% done, I started to continue on the art assets.
Since during the prototyping phase I noticed my background didn't fit well with the width and height of the game, I decide to recreate it by creating 2d square sprites and fill in the width and height as required.
After that, I came up with a size number. Upon re-creating my stages background I didn't want to waste my time by creating new pieces, instead, I reuse the elements I did previously. Though there are some elements that I made new, like the decorations and ground, it didn't take out much time than doing it from 0 again. So here's the output:
Starting on with working on stage 2 also, so here's my output:
Meanwhile, for stage 3 I didn't do much since I'm already okay with the design, just fixing up the platforms:
I also did some upgrade on the character appearance also the items, so it has more Indonesian vibes, like adding batik pattern in their clothes:
4. PATTERNS & ELEMENTS
- The pattern that I mostly used are these, since they are all originated from Java, especially Central Java.
1. BATIK KAWUNG
2. BATIK PARANG
3. BATIK MEGA MENDUNG
- Other element used:
Other than Javanese batik, I used a simplified version of Javanese handcraft wood carving patterns. These are some of patterns originated from Java.
Examples:
As well as the traditional house of Java, Joglo as the minion 2 reference:
Frankly speaking, I truly enjoy this part of the module because it reminds me
of the time when I actively pursued art as a hobby. Although I found it
difficult to combine the Indonesian and fantasy vibes, I managed to do it. I'm
also proud of myself for finishing all the art assets quickly, even if the
visuals are just a bonus in the game. I also feel that I had a great visionary
approach to design, as it enables me to think far ahead and proactively
anticipate potential challenges. This foresight has proven invaluable in
minimizing problems and ensuring smoother execution of my creative projects.
