Canvas Caper: Nib

Nib here is the protagonist of our small student-made version of Canvas Caper! They are a canvas ragdoll, and they carry their trusty Penspear as they hack, slash, platform, and puzzle-solve through the environment! Based on a wonderful artwork a former student made for me, this version of the game sees Nib sporting some decorated limbs from that original artwork.
This game does not feature the RPG-like character customization that I envision for a full game, which would see things like patterns and materials as acquirable in the world that allow the player to customize their version of Nib as they play. Someday, whether that game is made or not, I will share full concept sheets for the "fully-developed" version of the character as I originally imagined it.

Sketches featuring lternate character models considered for Nib, maybe one day could be NPCs in the world of the a game.
