A HAND-DRAWN HERO

Devolver
Logo & Key Art Creation

Once Upon A Time...

When Devolver came to us with the task of creating the key art for the release of new adventure game, The Plucky Squire, we were immediately excited. A new title from a brand new studio, All Possible Futures, created by Jonathan Biddle, the mind behind The Swords of Ditto, and artist James Turner, this wasn’t going to be just any key art job. We'd be illustrating the characters from scratch based on their vision.

The Journey Begins

We had to ensure that the key art matched Jonathan and James’ art style, which was an exciting challenge. Devolver supplied us with character sheets, environmental renders and scamps for reference, which gave us clear direction on how to create the artwork to spec. It also gave us an exclusive peek behind the curtain of what looks set to be one of 2023’s most talked about releases.

Popping Off The Page

In addition to redrawing the characters, we also put forward various logo options. Once a route was chosen, we put it through a variety of different render styles such as metal and gem textures. This is a fantasy adventure, after all!

Adventure Awaits!

Devolver were thrilled with the results. The Plucky Squire was also singled out by the press and public alike as one of the many standouts at Devolver Digital’s Summer Game Fest Showcase. We can’t wait to get our hands on it.
