All of the graphical assets were made by me in Clip Studio Paint.

I was responsible for the initial design of the two characters portrayed in GRIEF. I focused on making them recognizable, easy to adapt to different art styles and not lacking symbolism. The main character has dark, messy hair and wears a red sweater with a blue star on it. The deceased character is dressed in blue and has their face covered by a yellow star.

In my game you can see both of them in the final scene. The main character is sitting next to a grave, holding flowers that the player has picked in the previous scene. The deceased character is easy to miss, yet they can be seen in the background as an abstract silhouette made out of the gaps of the trees and the sun shining through them.

I aimed for a warm and peaceful atmosphere with a subtle undertone of melancholy as I believe such bittersweetness suits the conclusion of GRIEF.
