Star Wars: Battlefront II Graphics
For Star Wars: Battlefront II, our team wanted to create an in-universe language for a specific alien species, the Aqualish. This was to ultimately created for the game developers to use for environment graphics for a specific story segment.
Before creating a language, it was important to understand visually how the creature would look like, imagine what they would write with, and understand how their appearance would translate into to a written language. It was also important to draw from real life references which included researching spiders which they were visually derivative from.
Before creating a written language, we also researched real life examples of written languages from Asian and Middle Eastern scripts and created moodboards.
