    uniE621 Unfinished Masterpiece | Clemence - Prop Callout
    My entry for the Concept101 2025 Competition - "Unfinished Masterpiece". In 1880s Paris, Clemence is a washed up mystery author. Divorced, desperate for success and at the end of her rope, she decides to take things into her own hands. She's determined to finish her magnum opus and if inspiration won't come to her, then she'll go to inspiration. Following a trail of clues, starting with a mysterious wax sealed letter, Clemence seeks to track down Paris' most famous serial killers and catch them in the act, danger be damned. I had a lot of fun with this project, and really tried to get into empathizing with the character. Combined with some stylistic exploration and a tighter schedule, this was an awesome challenge. characterdesign character illustrator designer conceptart digitalart visualdevelopment…
