Tribe Woman Animation
Tribe Person Design
Initially, I was going to choose a style like in Hylics or Psychonauts for my game. Though I find these designs great, neither of them were going to fit with my game.
I took inspiration from Darkest Dungeon (so much for avoiding horror), trying the “squashed” proportions while keeping the sense of doom.
In terms of this design, I was looking into occult magic in Africa, and came across the fact there are many tribes in Cameroon that use spiders and crabs for divination (fortune telling).
