University Work – The Deep End – 2025

The two characters below are for an assignment I’m currently working on for University. Their story is set in a light fantasy world, and both fulfill a standard role in the traditional Mentor/Student Dynamic.

Aonar is a younger adventurer out for fame and glory, and tries everything in his power to prove himself, yet finds himself constantly frustrated at being outdone by his mentor Grandis. He has trouble handling his emotions, and tries to distance himself by covering his face and other emotional tells such as his ears and tail.

Grandis is an older retired knight who travels with Aonar to help him grow as a person. Due to his age he is far more capable than Aonar, which leads him unintentionally frustrating Aonar when he outperforms him in their journeys.

University Work – A Murder of Crows – 2024

Mortis is a fantasy wolf/fox creature that utilises exposed bone throughout its body to lure in prey eager to pick at a leftover hunt. It behaves like a mix between a fox and a cat, and despite its demonic appearance is friendly to other creatures that help it in some way.

University Work – Meeting The Boss – 2023

Andrew Mercer is a Mob Boss character created for my final assignment of my first year at AIT. He is an anthropomorphic wolf with violent tendencies who tries to present himself as a far more controlled person than he is. However, he is prone to bursts of rage, often over relatively minor things.
