Maran

This is Maran that I created for Hology interactive's game "The legend of Maran". The game takes place in a fantasy world based on swedish locations. Maran is known from Swedish folklore as a female that comes to you when you sleep and brings you nightmares. The feelings of sleep paralysis were often explained by Maran sitting on your chest when you slept (fun fact: it was said that you could lure her away by calculating math). Maran may sound a bit mean, but it is more to her than meets the eye.

The artstyle of "The Legend of Maran" is heavily inspired by "Genshin Impact". Adam Ringhede created outline and cell shaders in Hology Engine. These shaders made the characters look more similar to the ones in "Genshin Impact". I also handpainted some of the details to make it match the art vision of the game.

The amazing Annie Tsai designed the character concept.
