Below is a compilation of some of the concept designs I personally worked on that helped drive the visual language for Towerborne. Towerborne is a side-scrolling action role-playing video game developed by Stoic and published by Xbox Game Studios.
The style the concept were drawn in is inspired by the Ghibli style. Specifically the color panels of Hayao Miyazaki's graphic novels. Of course we added our own creative mix to the look and feel of our world. I was familiar with Miyazaki's work before working on Towerborne but as I dived into the early visual development stage I really grew to love the look and tone of Miyazaki's work. There is such a hopeful outlook for his heroes and the monsters have such an enigmatic quality. I never fully appreciated his work until working on Towerborne.
