Zodiac Fighter - Character Concept

Final project for my school!

This is a character design based on various chinese zodiac signs (dragon, goat, ox and rat). Since I've been into a lot of gacha and RPG games lately, I wanted to make their design and final presentation look like they would fit into a game that combines the two.
I took a lot of inspiration from different traditional chinese clothing, but also a lot of fantasy influences, as well as other gacha games. Overall, I had six weeks to finish the designs and presentation.

A basic rundown of the story!
In a town attacked by evil spirit, a young priestess, Ming Zhu, offers the zodiac spirits to take over her body and fight the intruders in her stead. They can swap "users" and all have different skillsets that make them valuable in next to any situation. (This would also apply to gameplay, giving them different character archetypes the player can swap to, to fullfill different tasks)

-> Since the characters arent playing in any real life circumstances, I took liberties with their outfits, so I apologize for them not being the most historically accurate (but that just wasnt the goal TT).
