Your Opinion Is Requested
🕑 Added 2017-07-10 12:59:08 +0000 UTC Hi guys! Kotor here!So we're working on a bit of a different video this week to help us catch our breath. People seemed to like our entry for the RiME contest a while back, so we're thinking of making a similar video loosely based on the standard Zelda story.
I've been playing with different art styles to try and make this video stand out - I want something quirky and storybook-esque that, I'll be honest, might be a bit quicker to draw than one of our standard videos. The hope is that, if I can find the right look, we might even be able to start doing these regularly as additional videos alongside our standard stuff on games development.
So I started with the idea of a very loose, bright, children's drawing style picture. This seemed fun, but didn't quite have the look I was going for - it looks shoddy and lazy, and that's not what we're going for at all (even if I am trying to speed things up, I don't want to do that while forsaking production value, which is the tricky part).
Then I thought, why not do something that's a little more inspired on the intro for Wind Waker? So I started with that idea, and then ended up taking it in a slightly different direction by embracing this kind of thick-lined, watercolour design. Personally I like this better, but I wanted to get your opinion on it.
So which do you like best? Bear in mind that these are quick drawings and I'll probably redo whichever one I choose. Do you like the top or the bottom one best? Or do you think we're better off sticking with a slightly more complex and time consuming style that means fewer videos?
Thanks! You guys are awesome!
PS I might bounce this question out to Twitter later this week too.
PPS BretonStripes' blooper video for hitting our $100 milestone is almost ready, it just needs some level mixing so it won't hurt your ears.

Thanks guys! BretonStripes agrees with you, the watercolour seems to be the way to go! I'm probably going to play around a bit and make it look a little more Wind Wakery, but it's nice to have a solid art style in mind!

Another vote for the watercolor!
