House of Tail – Art Direction

Side by side comparison of shading styles for HoT cat

First character drawn, showcasing the visual style.

Originally, the plan was to draw them like the one on the left, maybe with some cell shading, but after playing with brushes and drawing a few more to check consistency, the air brushed look on the right won me over. It looks even better slightly shrunk to fit in the game, since it smooths the black outline.

I hope the javascript warning box is enough of a “NOT SAFE FOR WORK” tag. While I do want to keep the website and games classy, (read: tasteful and tasty,) this is porn we’re talking about! Pics or it isn’t happening XD

The initial release will need a lot of characters, so I will probably take requests. Details will be posted later. Please be patient 🙂
