More Artwork

So it's been a while since my last post so thought I had better post something up here. Over this weekend I have been working more on my engine and going hard with some more artwork. This time to do with the cleanse movies which are those that play out at the end of each level. After collecting all puzzle piece pickups in each level one of these movies will play out. The mental image of 1 of 3 memories will play out and Franklin will be then able to identify his reasoning for his anger and work through it to cleanse the negative energy that will become exposed with him identifying the cause of his anger. After Act 1: School, Franklin is reminded of "Captain Awesome". A TV program from his younger childhood days. He was the only one at school who hadn't seen it as he was not allowed to watch it at home as his parents found it too violent. For this reason, he was teased by his peers. After Act 2: Parents, Franklin is reminded of a specific brand of skateboard he wanted. He loved watching people skate and really wanted to learn how to skate himself and get in on the action, only his parents wouldn't allow it, telling him it is too dangerous. Finally, after Act 3: Social, Franklin is reminded of his primary school soccer team tryouts. He missed out to his mate Lucas who only tried out for the hell of it. Franklin didn't find this fair, he really wanted the placement not like Lucas.

Each of these memories had its own impact on Franklin leading to his feelings of anger resulting from his isolation among his peers, rejection, sadness, resentment.

Here is the artwork for these short cinematic sequences:
