I’m no artist. I can’t afford an artist. And yet I need art for my One Game a Month video game project. What to do?
Clearly, it’s time to make some bad art.
Below are some draft assets for my January game. (Oh, who am I kidding? “Draft”? Ha! I’ll be using these exact assets, and probably for the next three games too.) Yup, just simple shapes combined to create simple entities with (I hope) obvious personalities. Thirty minutes in Illustrator, that’s all it took. (I would have been 20 minutes but I suck at Illustrator. Like I said, I’m no artist.)
Why am I sharing bad art? To show that if I can do it, you can do better.
