Here's some sketchbook assignments from my maps class. The top was for the assignment "here be dragons" and the bottom is a few compass rose ideas.

Here are two vehicle concepts for my game along with a bunch of sketches for some other ideas. The top vehicle is controlled by the star being. Its armor pieces and the pieces of this ship act kind of like shells or containers for its energy.

Here's the boy's mom! Throughout the game, the player gets to know the main character through various flashbacks, and his mother is one of the main players in this. Since the boy is bringing the universe back to its origin,  the connections he makes in these flashbacks start from the present and then regress backwards towards his infancy.

This is the star being from my game concept for my concept art class.

His character is a bit confusing since he is constantly evolving throughout the game. He begins as pure energy, taking the form of the white rabbit (yes) that leads you into the portal at the start of the game. The boy's dog is drawn to it since she ends up being its final part.

In each of the eight worlds, your dog leads you to the next part that makes up this being's armor. This can take the form of an object, creature, or other NPC that you interact with in some way. As each part is found, the star being takes a different form (as seen above). The first form wears the leg/hip piece like a mask.

This character actually represents the universe as a singularity before the theoretical 'big bang.' So, as the boy pieces it together, he is essentially bringing all of the energy and matter back to its center. This reflects in the worlds he travels to, and as he collects more of the objects, the worlds are increasingly simplified.

More character work for my game concept, this time featuring the boy's dog! (SPOILERS she turns out to be the final part of the star being you travel with)

The dog's second form is actually the form she takes when the star being is controlling her. At some point in the game, the boy and the dog get separated, so she can be controlled when the star being becomes her collar.
