The Art Work

As the video game’s illustrator, this is a subject close to and also dear to my heart. All the art work in the video game were hand-drawn– almost 400 sheets of paper were essential to cover the whole video game, and also I did every illustration with a mechanical pencil, utilizing HB leads.

I’ ve been dealing with picture for over twenty years currently, on comics, marketing, CD covers, bundle styles for bands, beverages, anything that requires some excellent illustrations on it, and also naturally, video games! Dealing with Absent-mindedness Knights Techniques was wonderful, most definitely among the most effective experiences I had in the area up till today.

Attracting fight circumstances was one of the most tough component of this task as a result of the high variety of information each of them have, and also their multi-layered nature. Hrs and also hrs of resting at my illustration table throughout weekdays and also numerous, numerous weekend breaks. My spouse and also my felines really did not like that a lot, yet I wish you will certainly concur it deserved it as you play the video game. Not to neglect, I had 3 outstanding assistants throughout this journey: Marcel Budde and also Leonardo Tomazi, that aided me out with illustrations for the circumstance properties, together with Carolina Mylius, the tinting musician that did the outstanding tinting job over my illustrations.

When it comes to the personalities, it was excellent to produce brand-new personalities for the Tormenta cosmos, which is truly prominent below in Brazil. I took a great deal of time to figure their shapes out, together with distinct features to make each personality special.
