I went through lots of style exploration and thumbnailing to get a consistent style i was satisfied with for the narrative illustrations. Here are just a few of the many pages I did #conceptart #illustration #narrativeart #indiegame #highspirits #scissorgrinder #sketch #sketchbook

A series of sketches that depict: a mermaid with seaweed hair holding her tail as if a human pulling their knees to their chest, two gnomes reminiscent of Russian stacking dolls one of which has a large mushroom for a hat, and a wolf drawn using heightened geometric shapes to exaggerate it's figure

A series of thumbnail sketches depicting a mermaid in various poses holding a glass dome to test out compositions for the final painting

Another sketch, slightly more developed with some color to depicting water around the dome in the mermaid's hands

A triptych sketch of a satyr-like fae person, a mermaid, and a slightly humanoid wolf side by side and heavily stylized like old narrative illustrations

I got to experiment stylistically with some narrative illustrations for #highspirits Here is a sneak peek at one, side by side with its sketch/ base painting #scissorgrinder #conceptart #conceptartist #narrativeillustration #indiegame #mermaid

A mermaid with tentacle-like tendrils for hair and a golden diadem upon her head holds a glass dome decorated with constellations between her hands as a magical aura of water surrounds the dome and spills over her hands. The entire image is set in deep, dark waters

A loosely painted and far less detailed or colorful rendition of the final piece that was previously shown

Please don't tap the glass! A series of mer-sketches I did for both specific and general merpeople within the game @highspiritsgame.bsky.social #scissorgrinder #conceptart #conceptartist #indiegame #mermaid #illustration

Three sketches of undead mermaids, one crawling toward the viewer, one on its stomach with its tail fin degraded and showing the spine underneath, and one mostly a skull that has been overtaken by octopus tentacles

A series of sketches depicting six mermaids of various fish species, all with seaweed for hair

Two illustrations of a shark mermaid with tattoo sleeves of waves, one facing forward with her hands crossed over each other and one a side view of her with her seaweed hair tied into a messy bun

A series of illustrations of an inverse merperson who is dressed like a 50s greaser with the head of an angler fish, smoking a cigarette

One of the things that took me by surprise working on this game was how much I enjoyed making UI icons. You can find all of my banners as you unlock fast travel locations in @highspiritsgame.bsky.social store.steampowered.com/app/3080290/...

A fantastical game map with fast travel icons in the form of banners with emblems upon them

A banner with an emblem depicting two large mushrooms forming a gate

A banner depicting an emblem of a door knocker with the imagery of two boars' heads

A banner with an emblem depicting a wyvern
