When an object becomes a story.

A key prop needs logic. Beauty alone is not enough: it must be recognizable, belong to the world and communicate its state. For the Eclipse amulet, darkness and light are the starting point.

Variations form a visual progression: dormant, echo, resonance, intensity. Shape and material stay stable while light carries narrative information.

A reference sheet connects the images and makes the design repeatable. In a film, animation or game, continuity allows the object to become part of the story.
