Wildhollow - First Art Delivery
Ξ April 10th, 2008 | → | ∇ Indie Games, Spandex Force, Wildhollow |
The regular readers of this blog is probably wondering what I’m doing right now.
“You’ve reached fame and fortune with Spandex Force. Have you taken the money and gone on a cruise or something? Have you bought a house in Monaco? Have you bought a space shuttle?”
Alas, while Spandex Force inded has sold decently I’m still not able to roll around naked in cash. But I have been finding ways to spend my hard-earned cash on art for Wildhollow, my upcoming adventure/management/puzzle game. More specifically, I’ve been trying to find art for the game!
The character art was very easy to decide upon: I loved the art for Spandex Force, so I took a few days to come up with an insane storyline and then sent a list of more-or-less strange characters to the secret artist located in a secret country, and asked her to come up with more-or-less strange designs for the characters in question. Oh, and by secret I mean not secret at all. But I’m not writing her name here, ’cause then she’ll be able to find this post when she googles her name, and she’ll see how I’m flaunting her excellent artwork downsized by a million per cent, saved as a lousy JPEG, essentially making it look like a smeared patch of mud instead of the brilliant character art I received.
Anyway, here’s the first completed art delivery for the game. The male hero:
Smeared patches of mud that once was great art.
See the expressions to the right? If you thought I was going to repeat the static dialogues from Spandex Force you’re incredibly wrong! This time there’ll be mouths flapping and our brave hero or heroine will show emotions. KarjaSoft is moving into 90s technology!
Aside from this I’m estimating a dozen backgrounds and another 20-something characters, plus a world map, plus item icons and puzzle elements. Dang, there’s going to be a lot of art!
