IKARUGA — Red Moon Assassin
Original Character | 2D Illustration

Ikaruga is a lone mercenary — known as the "Blood Moon Slayer" or "Fox Demon" — roaming the cursed lands of Akuma.
He once vowed to protect the shogun of Tengoku. His death during an enemy raid changed something deep within him.
Now, no one knows whether he’ll become the last hope of the realm... or the one who will bring its ruin.

🧠 GOALS
- Rework my original design with improved anatomy, lighting, rendering, and story depth
- Merge stylized fantasy with game-ready visual logic (clear silhouette, rich details, symbolic worldbuilding)
- Explore narrative design through color, props, and cultural references (Japanese folklore, yokai, oni, torii)
