Jewels of Rome casual 2D game characters for G5 Games match-3 cast roster

The four illustrations cover named roster members for the active narrative arc. Each portrait holds clear face read at small UI crop while supporting body framing covers full-screen story beats. Costume detail level was tuned to the in-game cast bible to keep the new pieces consistent with shipped roster portraits and to integrate cleanly into the existing dialogue system.

We delivered each character as a layered PSD with face, costume, and accessory groups separated, so the G5 team can adjust palette for event variants or seasonal restyles without ordering replacement art. Mouth shapes and eye states were authored as separate layers for in-engine expression swap during dialogue scenes.

Pipeline ran sketch, lineart, base flats, and rendered finishing under G5 Games review at each gate. We worked from the existing Jewels of Rome cast bible for proportion, costume language, and palette so the new characters extend the shipped roster rather than reinterpret it. Reference passes covered face shape, costume silhouette, and prop weight to hold the cast consistent.

Batched delivery let the four characters ship as a coordinated cast wave. Working alongside background painters craft on the broader G5 content pipeline, we cached reusable costume parts, prop kits, and accessory overlays that the team can pull into future event characters for faster live-ops turnaround.

Casual painterly style with warm palette, friendly facial proportions, and soft edge treatment. Costume work carries the period flavor of the Jewels of Rome setting without losing the casual read at small portrait crops. Hair, fabric, and prop detail anchor the character without competing for attention against the active gameplay overlay.

Color rules stayed inside the Jewels of Rome cast saturation range so the new portraits sit cleanly alongside the shipped roster. Lighting choices favored bright key with warm rim accents that lift the cast against the cool match-3 board palette so character UI panels stay readable across narrative scenes.
