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

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

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

Royal portrait of an ashen skinned elf with long, straight white hair. He has accents of armor, including a large brooch of a boar's head, and he's adorned with golden sash and furs. Behind his head is a sun resembling halo iconography.

I created a handful of portraits for the game, this was the first and still one of my favorites
Check us out on steam and throw us a wishlist :^]

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

Please don't tap the glass!

An illustration of a tudor architecture inspired building with a Mule sign on the front patio

A series of sketches of Mason the opossum and a small newt in cowboy boots and a tiny cowboy hat

An illustrated logo depicting a mule kicking its hind leg in the air. It overlays a crescent moon with the words "Kickin' Mule" atop it.

Here is a collection of art I did for Mason and his tavern, the Kickin' Mule! He was one of the earliest characters I personally conceptualized for @highspiritsgame.bsky.social

Thank you! We are lucy to have such talented artists. 😁

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

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

What a cute idea backed by cute art -b

I love taking colors and shapes from nature to influence my art, in college (we were located in a park with old forest growth) i would go on two hour walks daily, collecting cicadas and butterfly wings and the like -b

Just watched your trailer and loved it. The narration + music really drawed me in and I was ready for the montage. Excited to check it out

I love your character's fit, and his little slime friend!

I'm a huge fan of your work, it's awesome to see you on here!

Wow, this gives me so much nostalgia lol

We've had the same problem before, I like your way of handling it! We ended up showing previews of quest rewards to try to entice them more into checking out the journal, but I like your way because you'll just automatically see it.

That is adorable!

We've been posting on both and Bluesky seems better. But like someone else just said, use every method you can to get your game out there

A portrait of a fantastical viper-like serpent adorns a dimly lit brick wall

While much of my work will go unseen by nature of concept art, I do have lots of posters you can find and collect to decorate the tavern in @highspiritsgame.bsky.social

Wishlist it to find us when we release store.steampowered.com/app/3080290/...

That's a man on a mission

The flamethrower is awesome, but it's that monster on the left that really caught my eye lol. Wouldn't want to mess with that guy
