The Phantom of the Opera: A Visual Novel
The Phantom of the Opera: A Visual Novel is a mobile game based on Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera (1910). The game has less emphasis on romance compared to other contemporary adaptations of Leroux’s work. For my thesis, I created assets for the game including sprites, special-event illustrations, and branding, as well as a mockup of gameplay. My goals are to expand my portfolio as well as combine both my illustration and design skills into one project. I draw inspiration from the Baroque movement, J.C. Leyendecker, and the world around me.
