I have been buried in my sketchbooks for the past few weeks creating illustrations for the video game Hack, Slash, Loot created by David Williamson. I was commissioned to create Steam Trading Card art, backgrounds and badges based on characters from the game. This was a joy to work on. Seen as I am a big fan of the game it was an honour to create official artwork for it! In fact it will always remain a favourite of mine as it introduced me to the ‘rouge like’ video game genre.
Style wise Hack Slash Loot is pixel art. I used my style to illustrate how I imagine the characters to look beyond the pixels. I had already played the game for many hours but in-between drawings I revisited it to find inspiring scenarios or characters to illustrate. There were so many more enemy characters I wanted to add to these cards but this game is jam packed with them and I could only choose a few.

As I was busy creating these cards Nicola Welbourne (@NicWelbourne) crafted these models below based on the illustrations. Love how they have turned out!
You can buy Hack Slash Loot via Steam, and collect a few cards as you play. Looking forward to seeing what game David Williamson has in store next. He created an addictive gem with Hack, Slash, Loot!
