First Thoughts

The theme that draws my attention the most was without a doubt the “Earthly Delights”, first because of the famous surrealistic garden of earthly delights painting, and then because I immediately started linking this theme to one of my hobbies, foraging. With foraging I learn the names, of plants and fungi, their ecosystem, if they are edible or poisonous, etc. And this sprouted in me the idea of doing plant and fungi design as if it were for a game. Doing multiple ecosystems where in each there would be a good variety of flora and mushrooms with unique and interesting shapes and colours. This idea would fit perfectly with game art as it is at times a big part of a game art.

This reminds me of the art and gameplay of one of my favourite games, “Mutazione”, this game has as a main focus the story of a small village on an outcast island and the relation this village has to the plants and the fungi that support the island itself.
It also reminds me of the concept art I saw for a game called “Astroneer”. This concept art pages by Kristina Ness shows a great range of shapes and colours and plant knowledge
