Nen Jan Ken Pon Concepts

These are concept sketches for the canned Nen Jan Ken Pon game project. These includes player characters as well as weapon concepts and visual effects concepts.
I went with a stylized and cartoony design for characters, based on traditional japanese paintings.
For weapons, I started with multiple ideas for all of them except the fan. In the end, the Hammer became the Rock weapon, and while not portrayed here the Scissors became a blade.
Visual effects were researched through, with weapons being visualized outside of attacks as a japanese sigil floating close to the player.
