Hidden deep within the forest, there lies a mystical forest. A mystical forest that is home to
thousands of gorgeous and shiny witches. These witches are known as The Crystal Witches.

In this project, I will design 4 unique crystal witch character designs. Those 4 witches are Amethyst,
Rose Quartz, Citrine, and Lapis Lazuli. These crystal witches are an idea that combines the idea of a
generalized witch and shiny geometric rocks found in the earth. For centuries, witches have been
stereotyped and labeled as evil and ugly. For my witches, I will get rid of that old-timey stereotype and
make them gorgeous and unique. For the crystal portions, I will use the idea of the crystal meaning and
spiritual components to bring these witches to life. The spiritual meaning will be utilized in the means of
their personality. To further develop my characters, I imagined my witches to be in a Visual Novel-inspired
game. This type of game is a form of digital interactive fiction, where there is a combination of textual
narrative or dialogue with static or animated illustrations.

Amethyst, best known to be calm, positive, and serene, the word elegance plays a strong role in my
mind. As Amethyst guides the player through the mystical forest, the player then meets the lovely Rose
Quartz. Next up on the list, is this wonderful ball of energy, Citrine! This ray of sunshine is known for joy
and happiness. Further deep into the game and story, the player will encounter the wise Lapis Lazuli. As
for the rest of this project, I will go over my process and experience in developing these crystal witches. It
contains both the process of my expression sheet and the full illustration, including some little works, like
the logo design and business card.
