This week I spent most of my time dedicated to our game Plantagonist by creating some still images forming a cutscene explaining the basic backstory behind our game. The art in these cutscenes were created using photoshop and a Wacom tablet but were made to appear as hand-drawn as possible. I mainly did this because I feel I have lost my touch with traditional art besides grey-lead pencil drawings over the last couple of years through the constant use of digital media to create my artworks. Essentially my group and I decided that it would be best to create art that will be able to convey the story without needing any narration or too much reading, as our general demographic is children. I tried my best to incorporate comedy into the slides to make them a bit more appealing for any older players. I’ll display the slides in order and I’ll let you see if you can understand the story I’m trying to portray:
Essentially it entails a sunflower and its seeds living happily on a hill, until the evil ants scheme a plan to kidnap the seeds and have the sunflower exchange its land to get them back. It becomes night and the ant’s plan kicks into speed as they steal the sunflower’s innocent offspring and take them to their ant hill. As the sun begins to rise the sunflower catches a glimpse of the ants dragging the seeds into their ant hill and prepares itself to bring its kids back with its trusty sack.
