Concept art de elementos gráficos inspirados na cultura cearense para o jogo genshin impact

Abstract

The present work aims to develop a concept art consisting of five graphic elements inspired by the Baixo Jaguaribe region for the game Genshin Impact. The research also encourages reflection on how Brazil is represented in digital games and how stereotypes can limit the player's perception of a particular culture. Considering Brazil’s cultural diversity, the Baixo Jaguaribe region was chosen as the foundation for the concept art in order to highlight alternative cultural perspectives within the country that deserve greater visibility. The methodology used in this project is an adaptation of the one proposed by Hagen (2023) and is divided into four stages. The first stage, “Discover,” includes a photographic field study intended to create a collection of images from the Baixo Jaguaribe. The second stage, called “Define,” involves selecting the specific graphic elements to be illustrated in the concept art. In the third stage, “Develop,” references for each illustration, drafts, and the final artworks are presented. The final stage, “Deliver,” is documented in the appendix of this work, which provides a detailed account of the concept art development process.
