This was a fun project that I created for Marvelous Entertainment. They commissioned me to create a postcard-style snapshot of the world of their new release– Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. My partner has talked at length about how much she played the Harvest Moon games as a kid. How could I refuse creating art for their spiritual successor?
The initial sketch was pretty close to what ended up being the final design. The only edits requested were 1) making the incline to the waterfall more pronounced, and 2) adding a fruit basket to really sell the idea of it being a farm-based game. The rest is history!
