The above work was done with Photoshop and a mouse because I lack a graphics tablet, and felt that with the limited free art resources on iOS, using my iPad was not an option. Because KWAAN is a pixel art game, I felt that its impact could be best represented to others who haven't had exposure to the game through another perhaps more well regarded form of digital art: digital painting. However, I attempted to retain the "pixality" by purposefully choosing brushes that were quite grainy.  To evoke a tribal atmosphere, I decided to depict an abstracted version of a gathering around a fire underneath an overarching tree, analogous to KWAAN in the original game. The tiny figures around the fire are purposefully ambiguous and carry a speck of green on their "heads," abstracting them even further from humanity, and closer to nature. The overall image looks quite child-like with its unrefined brush strokes and basic color palette, hopefully adding onto the effect of whimsicality and innocence.
