Resn: Supercell x Hay Day
Character and prop designs for the client's, Supercell, animated trailer of their mobile game event launch, Hay Day: County Fair. Professionally engaged under the advertising creative agency, Resn. Responsible for characters, turnarounds, expressions, poses and prop designs.
Early art direction leans towards semi-realistic proportions to pursue a 2D Western anime and Ghibli-esque style but eventually pivoted to be highly stylised to resemble the game characters closer. The realism is retained through the props and background instead.
