Lancer: Heathen

Bachelor of Design with HonoursConcept Design

The year is 5023. The revolution has won. The systems of opression are being dismantled. And warfare is fought between mechanized chassis. Welcome to Lancer.
In the far-future setting of Lancer, players control pilots wielding high-tech battle suits known as mecha.
Pilots, or Lancers, are ideologues who's exceptional skills are only matched by their exceptional personalities.
In tabletop roleplaying games, players inhabit a character- like an actor playing a role in a movie.

Concept Design
I designed Lancer: Heathen, an introductory starter set for the Lancer tabletop roleplaying game, published by Massif Press. This project focused on communicating the world and mechanics of Lancer through character design, while using futurism, the mecha genre and the TTRPG medium to center ideas of representation and body._x000d_
Technically I focused on bridging 2D and 3D pipelines, using the mediums to focus on the relationship between pilot and mech.
