With the benefit of designing characters for a game that combines both Fantasy and science fiction, I have an opportunity to create designs that attract fans of both genres. This could be as simple as adding some memorabilia triggers in my character designs, e.g. could be a dialogue quote from a famous sci-fi movie or fantasy movie.
Genre mash up:
As it stands when you mention the word fantasy people immediately think of awesome knights concept art with giant monsters/dragons. This from a design perspective already gives a large range of ideas for characters and creatures, but as this is a combination of two genres which needs to be an equal give and take e.g. if characters are influenced by the fantasy genre then the science fiction genre will take over in weapons vehicles or environment. As it stands if I was to focus on designing for the main stream audience then the best option would be to add a combination hobbit like characters or creatures in order to get that fan base attracted to the art style of the game.
