Today's article

In this article we want to show you how our game will look like, what art style do we have in mind and what we have done so far!

Game Art

In our game, Sylvan, we want to re-create and art style very popular in various game like "The Wolf Among Us" from Tell Tale Games.

Telltale Games

Different types of Cel-shading


Instead of creating a very defined look, with shadows and textures that look more natural (The walking dead example) our approach is to do something with hard and rough shadows, textures and hard outlines (The wolf among us example).

We decided to give it a test and this was our result!

We loved the way it end up looking like, and we already have a full interior with this art syle to show here, so stay tuned on future articles!
