Joseph
A story in progress
One of my biggest goals this year is refreshing my portfolio with a new visual development project. Inspired by biblical films and series such as The Chosen and House of David, I decided to bring one of my favorite stories to life through character design, worldbuilding, and visual storytelling.
Welcome to the story of Joseph.
Phase 1: Exploration
Every project begins with research and exploration. After immersing myself in the story of Joseph and his brothers, I started gathering visual inspiration, sketching ideas, and searching for the shapes, moods, and themes that could help bring the story to life.
Scroll through the gallery below to follow the story in its earliest form—rough storyboard sketches exploring key moments from Joseph's journey.
To build a cohesive visual world, I explored a wide range of character thumbnails, experimenting with different cultural influences, silhouettes, costumes, and shape language.
The story continues …
With the research and exploration phase complete, I'm now moving into character design—developing the cast and discovering what each character looks and feels like on screen.
