Mendicant concepts

Character concept series created for the game Antariksha Sanchar, exploring the design of a mendicant — a wandering holy man who crosses paths with Ramanujan during his journey. As a quest-giving NPC, he serves as an important touchpoint in the narrative, nudging the player forward at key moments.

The series explores multiple versions of the character, each with distinct visual traits while staying rooted in the aesthetic of ancient Tamil Nadu. The design challenge was making him feel spiritually authoritative yet approachable — someone Ramanujan and the player would naturally trust and seek guidance from.
