I was asked to flush out the look for a social game by a small start-up called Pixiee Games.
The theme was Desert Island w/ Pirates and monkeys, and Parrots. What's no to love right?!! the initial sketch got things going in the right direction but needed some redesign

Once the design and layout were in place, refining the painting was the next challenge. They wanted something that had a "Disney" feel.
My early paintings were getting to bogged down in details and were starting to get a little painterly. Not the flat, vibrant geometric quality they were looking for.
Brighter and simpler at this phase but still a little to much going on with texture . The quality of the tone and saturation was starting to come together though.
Finally got to a place where both tone and textural elements were coming together and the levels were starting to feel right.
The huts start taking on the kind of 'flat' look that the client is after. There excited and I'm happy I can cross one more thing of the list of needs that I'll want to address
The Details on the huts and the rigging in the boat are the last items to embellish.
Push the levels, contrast and saturation and call it a day. A happy desert island
any pirate would love to pillage!
