Environment Design Rocks!

Here's mine - it's a horror game set on a Texas ranch. I spent a bunch of time in these types of ranch houses with my family as a kid and they can be super creepy. And being out in the woods at night it's of course really easy to get creeped out. Every time I visit a ranch I think how there should really be a scary game set on one.

I don't have much really figured out, IP wise - I don't know really what the plot is, or what the gameplay would really be like. I did illustrate one idea I had (my favorite comp, but I didn't get around to coloring it!) of a mechanic where you bowhunt the monster, which of course requires that you be hidden and set up, probably with bait (a deer carcass in the comp) before you have a hope of shooting it.

I was trying to figure out what a good creepy country-type monster would be, and found the Wiki page for skin-walkers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin-walker - creepy shit! I haven't actually done any design on the creature(s), but it DOES appear in all the comps except the first "road to the house" one - going for that "WHEN U SEE IT YOULL SHIT BRIX" meme effect :)

Included the notans in my image here, I also had a few pages of pencil thumbs that preceded the notans, with many more "failures" that I didn't bother to notan :)

Side note, my monitor is still calibrated all wonky, I'm getting a new one this week but these might have some weird color shifts / saturation issues :(
