My Role

This is a self-initiated project and an original IP. I handled the full creative scope - from art direction and brand identity to visual design and world-building. The 3D character was designed and directed by me, powered by AI.

The World

The First Fire
Was Shattered.

Long ago, the world was protected by an ancient celestial flame - the First Fire. It maintained balance between light, darkness, life, and death.

One day, it shattered. Fragments scattered across the world, plunging entire kingdoms into decay. The guardian sacrificed himself trying to save it.

What remained was only a weak spark. That spark became Ashborn.

The Character

Ashborn

Drag to rotate

A forgotten being made of cracked charcoal infused with traces of blue-violet fire. With no memory of who he once was, Ashborn carries the last remnant of a dying world.

World Design

Five Regions.
One Dying World.

The Ashen Wastes

A barren land of cinder and silence. The first flame died here.

The Crystal Forest

Frozen light trapped in glass. Beauty without warmth.

The Celestial Rift

A tear in the sky where the cosmos bleeds through. The boundary between the mortal world and the First Fire's origin.

The Ember Ruins

The remnants of a civilization that flew too close to the First Fire. Floating debris, cracked arches, violet lightning.

The First Flame Sanctum

Where the First Fire was born. Where Ashborn's true self waits.
