Below is an example of some of the early hand drawn concept art I created for my game concept, Monkey Business. I was not going for a realistic style but instead went with a colourful cartoon style that would appeal more to the young audience demographic.
Once completing early designs on paper I moved onto re-creating these visuals on Adobe Illustrator and adding colour via Photoshop. The designs above were inspiration for the designs below, with some slight alterations made (e.g. the colour of Mr. Key's tie and which were changed to yellow as I felt that this colour was more assosicaiated with monkeys and bananas, the position of his legs to make his stance appear more ape-like and the addition of a beard to the zookeeper to make him look older and more villainous and threatening).
Some more of my designs are shown below, which include graphics of Mr. Key and the obstacles. As well as the colourful, cartoon style I also attempted to make them visually humourous, such as the octopus that has been made to look like a pirate with an eye patch and hook on one of the tentacles, or the shark modeled in homage to the poster for the movie
Jaws. All the personified/ anthropomorphasised obstacles have been given yellow eyes as a visual character to trait to make them easier to identify as obstacle through the connection of their evil design from their angry yellow eyes. This is one example of mise-en-scene.
