During the initial stages of our project, our team of five aimed to create a concept that would resonate with each member. After collaboratively sharing and integrating our ideas, we arrived at the title 'Through The Portal.' This narrative centers around a young human child seeking a more thrilling Halloween experience. Upon discovering a magical portal, he finds himself transported to the realm of monsters. With this story framework established, we explored various iterations of our two primary characters: Kidd and The Detective. We drew from a wide range of inspirations and artistic liberties, considering how each character's design, traits, and mannerisms could be effectively realized in our future development.
