Here's some character concept artwork for a Zelda-like adventure/horror game idea I have called "Shadows of Wiccumshire", here depicted is the main character Helrynega and her companion Logus the Language Elemental. As you can see, I've changed the overall look of the game, from semi-realistic to "Dark Wacky" as I like to call it (the wacky part might not be quite so evident in this one picture, but you'll see as I do more).

If you want, you can read more about the concept over here --> http://bradshavius.deviantart.com/art/Shadows-of-Wiccumshire-Style-Change-602756275?q=gallery%3ABradshavius&qo=2
