The portraits of Inti and Quillana were designed to be used in two fundamental elements of the game's narrative interface:

• Character selection screen: They serve as a direct visual representation of the protagonists, allowing the player to visually connect with each before starting their adventure.
• Dialogue box during the narrative: They accompany the voice or text lines during cinematics and important conversations, providing expressiveness and reinforcing the visual identity of each character.

🖌️ Artistic process:

A digital technique was used with an aesthetic that simulates traditional brushstrokes, seeking to harmonize with the overall style of the game, which mixes Incan influences with a futuristic solarpunk world.

🧱 Key features:

• Painting style: Simulated oil and acrylic textures to give a sense of ceremonial art and craftsmanship.
• Body language: Both characters appear in a solemn attitude, which communicates introspection, spirituality and connection to their mythical roots.

🎨 Colour palette:

• Inti: Golden, red and warm tones that evoke the sun, royalty and masculine strength.
• Quillana: Blues, whites and lunar details that allude to the moon, wisdom and femininity.

👤 Character development:

These portraits reinforce the dual and complementary character of the protagonists:

• Inti represents strength, courage and the connection to the earthly and solar.
• Quillana embodies wisdom, intuition and spiritual and lunar energy.

Both designs were intended to maintain visual coherence with the concept art, ceremonial dress, and cultural elements explored in the gameplay.
