Character Design
The idea was to create a young, adventurous boy inspired by Aztec culture. I wanted him to embody a bold, playful, and colorful spirit that would harmonize aesthetically with the surrounding environment. I named him "Koh", as a reference to the coyote — a symbol of trickery and mischief in ancient Mexican mythology.

Enviroment Design
The environment combines elements of an overgrown mountain cave and an ancient temple. At its center lies an altar-like cradle filled with dragon eggs, emphasizing the magical aspect of the project and linking the setting to the character’s backstory.
