The art of The Dark Crystal
I participated in a project called Everything is a remix, I chose the 80s film The Dark Crystal and decided that I would adapt the film into an adventure game.
I first did some rough sketches of ideas.
After doing some sketches of enemies, a hero character and environments I then recreated those sketches using photoshop.
I then created animations to see how the enemy and hero character would look when part of my game and when performing specific actions.
During the process of creating my game, I also looked at different colour schemes.
I then did sketches for items the player could use to replenish their health.
Here is an animation for a slug enemy which shoots spikes from its body.
I began to create animations for specific things like enemy attacks and the movements of my scarecrow hero when he uses specific weapons.
In the final animation I made my Skeleton Spider perform the attack of hitting it's legs on the ground.
I made my scarecrow hero stab with his sword and raise his shard of the dark crystal into the air.
I also began to design the grassland environment and cave environment which I planned to feature in my game.
Below depicts how my game would function if it was a coded game.
Here are some sketches of my animations.
