What if Belle decided to hunt down and kill the Beast, instead of falling in love with him?
Beauty & The Beast has always been one of my favourite Disney Classics, but a few years ago I was exploring ideas for a cosplay and had the thought “what if Belle became a Beast Hunter instead?”. Sadly the cosplay project never materialised (maybe one day!) but it did give me an idea for a story-driven single player game concept, which I’ve used to expand my UI portfolio.

Once I had researched and solidified my stylistic pillars, I decided to refine these ideas by creating several high fidelity mockups, showcasing a variety of key screens throughout the game:
