PERSPECTIVES OF THE CROISSANT.

The idea of shrine on the top of the mountain is ger
nally from the game ‘Monument Valley’ and the game ‘Tengami‘. The shape of moon and stairs in the game are used for reference to my work.

Two Mario statues are created to emphasize the Mario story for viewers, as to mention the nostalgic atmosphere of the whole world.
The theme I created for the whole world is partial to the ancient Japanese style. As the temple (on the right side) I referred to is a typical Japanese building, all the colors and styles are set for the viewers to immerse into the world created.

THE STORY + INSPIRATION.

Since the ‘unequal mirrored world‘ has became the main theme of the story, I would like to create a world which is mostly based on the description of the landscape - a world on the shores of a lake, but rather than just literally put two worlds together separating them by the lake, I prefer to work with indoor scenes as to emphasize the Old Quad building - so two worlds are decided to be separated age would not be considered as it might cause the destruction of the aesthetic balance in a B&W

tures and emotions of the inhabitants living above the glass show a great contrast to those who live below - desperation and harmony, lust and mercy. There is no crossover between each other,

This scene is intended to depict a close-up shot for a character, who played a key role in the whole story A girl got tired of wondering this ruined city, when she just noticed that vast sculpture of polished marble, everything even paused a second for her astonishment. ’They are twins.’, she murmured. Look- ing over the glittering pond in front of the marble, she noticed, a lady who has almost the perfect symmetry, just staring at her with a familiar yet unreadable face. The plot is designed to be a prompt to the readers that the girl found the connection and riddles between two worlds that need to be demystied.

It was such a journey that my skills into technical drawing as well as integrated prototype model making was developed, as I started to mention my new developed capabilities in the digital model making software of Rhino3D, and skills in the Adobe suite for purpose of ima beginner, they still present the capabilities that each of these tools, both physical and digital, had for being integrated into a cohesive
I believe that I did push myself enough for each of the modules, outcomes were still disappointing - such as in module 2, I failed to recreate the elevation from the original Mario world therefore the
