My Contribution - Background Art

  • Coordinated with other artists on the team to develop a cohesive style for both characters and backgrounds

  • Created backgrounds that would help the characters and UI stand out

 What I Learned

  • Backgrounds are not meant to stand on their own. This was my first time doing pure background art, so setting up compositions and lighting that left enough space for and would not compete with the character was challenging at first.

  • Game design needs to be clear from the start. Though players had little trouble figuring out the controls, they weren’t really sure how to play the game. This led to a lot of confusion for the players when they were done playing.
