Art in games

11/12/2015

 
It always surprises me how much art influences a potential player's interest in a game.  I love mechanics, but when people ask about my games or games in general, they want to see what the art looks like and what the narrative of the game is. 

So, when I was showing off the full art copies of Roll Player over the last few months, I breathed a sigh of relief when people say stuff like "Wow, that looks good!". 

What looks good is so subjective.  I know what I like, but I don't know if other people will like the same thing.  As art can really drive the interest (sales) of a game, selecting the right artist for a game is critical for it's success.

With that in mind, these are some of my favorite illustrations for Roll Player from John Arios​​a.

Before anything else, I just want to say that I was also impressed by this Roll Player from John Arios​​a! The way they blended all the colors for the illustration was so eye-pleasing to me. Talking about the craft, gamers gain the interest in arts because they are inspired by these characters. If they know that they have the talent in illustration, the might think that they can also be capabler of coming up with their own characters which is certainly a good idea to accomplish, isn't it?

Absolutely. JJ is an amazing artist. I'm lucky to have worked with him on multiple projects at this point.
