The concept art process for uniforms and player gear in Gravity Ball was as imaginative as the game itself—a bold blend of high-impact sport and gravity-defying spectacle. From the beginning, we knew the visual identity needed to strike a balance between competitive intensity and unrestrained fun. Our goal was to craft a world where athleticism meets outrageous personality, all grounded in a design language that supports fluid gameplay and strong visual readability.

We began with grounded explorations: sleek athletic silhouettes inspired by traditional sportswear, with form-fitting uniforms, tactical gear, and team-based color schemes. These initial designs emphasized function—ergonomics, mobility, and team identity. We studied contemporary sports like basketball, roller derby, and even fencing, to understand how uniforms can amplify both performance and personality. This established the baseline look for a competitive sport grounded in some sense of realism.

From there, the team let loose, pushing into more stylized and exaggerated territory. The brief opened up to allow for expression that borders on the ridiculous but entertaining. We explored hyper-stylized uniforms, ideas that are eye-catching, distinctive shape languages, and bold color schemes . Each design pass explored how players could visually express themselves through gear customization and silhouette diversity, while remaining legible and cohesive in fast-paced gameplay.

This visual exploration wasn't just about aesthetics—it was about creating a world where every player avatar felt like an extension of the player’s identity. The absurd and the stylish sat side by side, offering a wide range of visual cues for both narrative worldbuilding and dynamic gameplay readability. The final result is a universe where intense sport and expressive design collide, capturing the heart of what Gravity Ball is all about: high-flying action, identity, and spectacle
