Games Encounters: Spring Submission. 'Codename Balloon' preliminary concept art.

We're pitching the game as a flying game where you control a hot air balloon/airship and have to fight of the invading forces and avoid obstacles. The game is set high in the sky on floating islands, and our protagonist Marco is the sole defender of these aerial invaders. This was the original 20 minute sketch I did when I first came up with the idea.

Using this as a basis for style, and looking at games like Valiant Hearts for further influence, I revised the design, made Marco look older which was the original intention, and added colour. This is the result.
