Splatoon 3 artist discusses his work on the game and challenges
Posted on 2 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
An interesting post previously went up on Nintendo’s recruitment website from an artist that worked on Splatoon 3. As part of this, we learn about the challenges of making illustrations and why it was far from a straightforward process.
The first takeaway is that the artist “needed to display a world that was rougher when compared to the past games” given the new setting of Splatsville. The initial difficulty came about as the artist “was focused a bit too much on drawing the action poses correctly, which resulted in them feeling too small and lacking energy.” He then turned to others on the team that were able to “maximize the charm of Splatoon 3” through his art. Ultimately it sounds like a rewarding job as the staffer was already a fan of the franchise and received positive feedback about his illustrations from around the world.
