[NOKOGIRI CHARLOTTE] is a concept album of mock video game music and character art. The album is released in autumn 2014 at the bi-anual music exhibition and sales event "M3" in Japan. Under the guidance of art director cum composer Charlie "Ottiki" Fletcher, I had the opportunity to flex my artistic merits in character design and illustration. The project features the collaboration between musicians, artists, and designers to create a cohesive package centered around the music. The album draws inspiration from vertical-scrolling shooter video games as well as the "glitch art" movement to create colorful characters and fun music. The full package includes a 2-disc album, a booklet with character illustrations, a cool t-shirt, a poster, and fun stickers.
