Floating around!

Hey everyone,

My webdesigner recently finished my new website – which is great! But there is still some placeholder art on the site, which looks a bit akward. And therefore I decided to spend some time on updating that art, so I can really start using the website.

Because -as I write this - you can still see this sketchy art on the site!

Now I always need to take a few steps, to turn such a rough sketch into a refined illustration.

And my first step was to give each character the right proportions and correctly detail their faces- for which I used a lot of references from the game.

Now since most characters in game usually just stand around, it was a nice change of pace to draw them in more dynamic poses :)

Once I was happy with the proportions, I cleaned up the linework, and started adding color. And for this I used the characters existing color scheme, but made some small adjustments to better blend them into the blueish background.

And this is the final result- I hope you like it!

Now for those who want to see a bit more of this illustration- you can download this PSD file of this illustration & move the characters around a bit :)

More use of the art

I think this image tells the story of Space Rescue in a nutshell, which is nice. So I hope to be able to use the art on other places as well. But for now, I will first add this art to the website. And then it's back to making game art again :)

All the best!
