These images include some character designs, and one mood art piece portraying the protagonist.  They were created using watercolors – specifically Sumi-E watercolor paints, which seem to have a remarkable texture and opacity when manipulating them.

A Watercolor Mood Art Piece

Underling One

Underling Two

Our Protagonist's Sidekick

Overall I think the second underling’s features have a slightly sliding quality that needs to be corrected, but the coloration of these models is spot on.  Notice how loud the color palette is for the underlings in particular.  These tones are actually quite typical of the Victorian era, which tended towards rich primaries that have almost a violently seedy quality to them at times.  In truth I love these shades – saturated, almost gaudily so – they’re reflective of colors we saw in horror films by Hammer studios rather than those represented in modern-day features.  Think of the sepia washes that we like to use to portray the Victorian period, or the desaturated pall that some filmmakers believe evokes the past.  Bright colors – particularly reds and golds – can evoke a horror and unsettling mood all their own, as this game will hopefully prove at the end of its creation.
