One of the most important aspects of Zork would be to create the right atmosphere, with the characters and their personalities at the foreground so a conscious design choice I made when designing my character for Zork is that it would be undoubtedly influenced by Japanese graphic novel art. This wasn’t simply a choice made via personal preference but rather in that the Japanese Anime/ Manga style excels at conveying expressions – be it extreme or minor. Many video games that utilise sprites and focus on the characters emotions are often portrayed in an anime style – such as Hotel Dusk, the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona Series and the Ace Attorney series. This is something that would occure in Zork aswell.

| The character sheet of Yosuke in Atlus's Persona 4. The anime facial style conveys radically different expressions and atmospheres, even if the pose of the character doesn't change - highlighting the power of the Japanese 'Anime' Style. A possible influence for my character sheets. |
