Concept Art & Style

Above is some concept art for my game.

I wanted a light hearted art style for the most part, with bright colours and querky visuals. However I  also wanted to maintain an omnious feel too some of the enviroments.


I've taken strong inspiration from such games as;
Bontanicula
Machinarium


Both of these have been made by a company called Amanita Design. The style of games they produce are very much a custom too what I want my game too look like. However I've had other infulences aswel from games such as;

Vessel
Closure
Spirts

Inspiration from other design mediums have come from;

The Surreal - The photo series by  David Keochkerian. - These inspired the colourfull and unatural feel that I wanted too implement into the world.

The Splash Series of Photo's by  Jack Long  Inspired a lot of the enviroments that I want in the game.

As did Rune Guneriussen's rural light and book installations.
