Character Design
The characters designed in the project are loosely outlined before being drawn, each with their own unique personalities. They are outlined and coloured normally unlike the other objects drawn with pixels. It allows for more differentiation and movement and still blends in nicely with the background.
Motion Details
The subtle motion details in the environment is what makes this piece fun. The different objects flow with the wind and sparkle under the golden sun.
