About the art style in Saira

I just found these two videos!
Here you can hear some comments about the artwork of the game, from this lady who's making concept art (I don't know what her name is According to her YouTube profile, her name is Charlotte, but she goes by the alias beomene) and here she's actually drawing a (great) picture of Saira.

Enjoy!

EDIT: I found her deviantART account!

Here are her illustrations for the game: (These are thumbnails. Click them for the big sized versions )






Great pictures, don't you think?

OH MY GAAAAAAWDDDDD

She is like awesome at painting.

+ 'd her art @ da

I was beginning to wonder when somebody would locate those...

I think I had once stumbled upon that picture of Saira sitting, but I didn't really think it was from your game. =P

Fantastic find, Ponto!

I watched the videos and checked out her DA gallery. Being able to watch the creation process and hearing the artist talk about it 'live' makes the art more special. :-)

Interestingly, it seems like she's concerned about living up to Sara's artistic legacy. I don't think she needs to be, because both styles are great on their own.

Here are a couple more Saira pics from Charlotte:

Cool, I'm going to put that on the first post.

*BLUSH*


EEEEK!


..

Thank you guys.
I was just about to go to bed,
but after finding this thread,
I feel like staying up til dawn, noon, december 12:th just drawing more, more, more.
 

*draw deep breath*

I wish I understood more of what's going on on this forum.
As to the discussion about Steam, and protecting the game while not really wanting to limit its spreading etc...

But I'll leave that to you other guys who are skilled at... err... that kind of stuff.

Yes, when it comes to Saras legacy... I've met her and instantly liked both her and her style.
A couple of days ago I was still feeling that I wish I had more of her style in my hand, but, well, I don't.
And I shouldn't try to recreate what is her way to convey a message, that would be kind of... a theft.
So I try not to think about that, and just go for the John Bauer, art noveau feel that I think both I and Nifflas are comfortable with.


If you cheer me on like this I will try twice as hard, promise!
It's crazy how enormous effect encouragment has on me,
whenever Nifflas is positive or you people are positive
I just burst with energy.

I can't (but must) WAIT til you people are able to explore the game yourselves and can give me suggestions on what to draw!

Keep at it! Your YouTube video makes it seem as if you don't have as much confidence in your work as you should. The style is fantastic and rather than being concerned about following Sara's legacy, you should be proud that you are contributing to a new atmosphere.

Nifflas' games have given me a lot of inspiration through their atmosphere even back when I discovered him through WADF and it's the art style and music that evoke a kind of intrigue and does the inspiring. Your work has the same effect.

ditto...

nah, i liek your style!
it looks good!

That stuff looks like something I'd most definitely put on my album cover. Heck, I could just write an entire album based on these pictures.

So... how much for CD cover artwork? Let's talk biz. ;-)

These drawings are so awesome. You really are very talented!

I also enjoyed your video's where you draw so much (read: talk). I think you have a lot of humor. I really liked watching them. So sure, go on and ramble some more. I'll be hanging on your lips.

*grin* ...you will regret saying that! I'll take a screenshot of this message and keep it as evidence.

I want to just post the last couple of drawings now,
but I believe Nifflas would like me to keep them to myself a little while longer.
D'rn.

Good question.
Now I got very, very curious about your music.
I'm gonna google you like you've never been googled before.
Was that a threat or a promise? Hmmm.

I was beginning to wonder when somebody would locate those...
