My main sources of inspiration were <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/2025\/11\/21\/media-research\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4121\">paper dolls<\/a>, mystical beings, and whimsical vintage. Each character&#8217;s design is inspired by their corresponding tarot card, some of them represented by an object rather than a humanoid form. All the characters will have a 3\/4 view and animations. On the right is concept art of the protagonist, the Fool, in the game&#8217;s art style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-79fb870f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"813\" height=\"586\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/image-6.png 813w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/image-6-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/image-6-768x554.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"471\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0984-e1768175671556-471x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4874\" style=\"width:213px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0984-e1768175671556-471x1024.jpg 471w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0984-e1768175671556-138x300.jpg 138w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rp11g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2026\/01\/IMG_0984-e1768175671556.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 471px) 100vw, 471px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Environment Art I touched upon this briefly when discussing my game ideas.
