Game Guy (Version 1)
Game Guy

With this piece, I wanted to evoke nostalgia and explore the connection that occurs when playing video games with friends.
Initially, I created the concept and mock up for the animation using Procreate and FlipaClip. I was inspired by MTAA's Simple Net Art Diagram, and how they explored connection.

I used Procreate and Pixilart to create the sprite sheets. I designed the creatures to be cute while fitting into the genre of a creature trading game.
I chose an orange retro color palette for the pixel art to resemble the color limitations of older video game consoles.​

For the 2D drawn assets, I used cooler colors to contrast the warm tones of the pixel art. I also used an aesthetic reminiscent of vaporwave to tie in to the nostalgic factor of playing video games.
