illustrations for School Journal- story The Crafty People
Set in a Minecraft like game world about native inhabitants of the world fighting back against players and the real world.
I wanted to go for something not blocky in style to allow it to make sense that the story was different to Minecraft. I also wanted to avoid a pixel art style as it seemed too obvious.
You can see early style tests in the last 3 images. It was great to play with a different style that felt gamey without directly referencing a specific game.
