Research // World - Game art

These screenshots are from the game Castle Crashers on xbox 360! Characterisation wise, this is probably one of the coolest games i've ever seen :D I've only played it once, but the 2d scrolling effect, mulitplayer game play and cute characters are really enjoyable to play! I love how expressive the characters are, looks more like a animated cartoon compared to other games out there!


Swords and Soldiers: I've mentioned this game before in previous posts...but I think i'll mention it again! Basically the game is about picking a tribe and fighting each other. The characters are really cute and the gameplay looks insane O.O You can pick from vikings, chinese dynasty or aztec people.

Pixar artist Lou Romano is amazing *.*
Some of the scenes could be potential inspiration dino food land territory :) The lighting, gradients and textures in the background are really beautiful. Really sets the mood and feeling of the overall world. Sigh so awesome...

Research // Fresh Start, Fresh Inspiration

Urgh, my art blog has been so dead lately ;_;
To revive it again, I've decided to make this my art inspiration/multimedia studio assessment blog (hoorah!)

Currently I'm doing my first flash project based on fantasy worlds. Me, liz, keisuke and milkman decided to do a food/prehistoric world filled with salty, bitter and sweet dinosaurs. Should be awesome :D Been waiting for 3 years to do flash animation omgosh...

Currently we are up to the research stage for the mood board. I guess my previous post can be included as food inspiration too :]

I also found the work of POSTGAL- an animation company from Hong Kong. Their work is so unbelievably cute, and their characters are kinda dopey looking lol. They also created my blog baby which I think is dieing due to me not feeding it...

The thing I love about postgal's characters is probably the line work. It really has that hand drawn aesthetic which works well with the colour palette and fluidity of the animation :)
