Opening level concepts for Ink Strings

These were a series of concepts designed for the upcoming indie puzzle game called Ink Strings.
There is an experimentation of styles and moods, the atmosphere was the most important thing to get right for
the client. The emotional state of the character is very important so the environment had to reflect this.

The world is a fantasy land that has characters that can create life and objects out of nothing with stationary.
However some of the powerful over sized stationary remains in the game as a signal to how the world is built.

It begins in a cherry tree grove or orchard, where the main character lives, it is a peaceful tranquil environment, so
watery washed feel worked very nicely. Although it is set in an Japan inspired world, we also came up with a British isles
concept for the game, where there is an oak wood with bluebells which also like cherry blossom come out in
the spring.
