Attack of the Oozeheads process
A small assignment done for the game company "Monkeybizniz". They were working on a game called Attack of the Oozeheads, which used to be a website flash game. The company wanted to give Attack of the Oozeheads a make over before re-releasing it. They were trying to achieve a fifties look and feel and wanted me to help define the style.
The final product, a poster with a fifties vibe, to promote the game.
A test I did before I made the final poster. The shapes didn't look clean enough in this version, I had to get closer to the "graphic art" kind of style, with cleaner shapes and less painted gradients.
In the final skech I wanted to show off a little bit more of the city and greenery.
Another sketch, I preferred the dramatic perspective, it's a nice nod to the alien invasion movies from the fifties.
I wanted to make a poster to combine and show off the style decisions. I made several composition sketches for that purpose.
I took one of the building shape tests and used it for a more detailed colour test.
Shape tests of buildings in order to understand the style better.
A shape and colour test I did in order to understand the style better.
Original retro posters used to be painted by hand using gouache. I tried to achieve the same textures by hand painting the character by hand first using gouache, and I then touched it up digitally using photoshop.
A character turn around I did, trying to emphasize on the silliness of the invading Alien character.
