These graphics are pretty nice.
My favorite is the furry things with wooden masks.
I have two suggestions:
-Overlay a paper or parchment texture over the screen.
I think that'd further your style of trying to look like woodcut prints.
-Add some shadows (could just be a black oval) beneath characters.
It would add a better sense of where they are.
Right now they are floating ambiguously in white.

Thanks a lot for the input! No lie, I've considered both of these things, but I haven't had any luck with a paper overlay yet. Just need to keep looking, I suppose. But yes, shadows will be happening! In other news, here's a little progression of where an enemy type has gone over the course of a year. Hope you think it's improved.  |

This aesthetic is just incredibly beautiful. What are you building the game in?

My partner (@LostKing9) does all the heavy lifting, I just draw the pictures. He's developing the game in Java.  |

If you even need a alpha tester, hit me up. Still looks amazing!

Here's a new monster concept!  I wanna draw fan art, can I? I'd be honored! :D Quite frankly, this looks pretty badass. Keep it up!
Thanks a ton, every comment like this means a lot. I really love the style and the mood in this. Will definitely follow this!
I'm glad you like it, thank you. :> |

I feel like the mock-up is too dark IMO. Kind of covers up too much of the environments. What about, rather than having so much dark, kind of integrate the UI into a border? Like how a woodcut might have a border   And then add some clouds in the skies to break up the white backgrounds |

(... light and dark explanation...)
This is pretty much what I was thinking while reading through the thread. The art is all really great, but there is too much white. Maybe try experimenting with some kind of hatching/dither for your mid-tones? That would fit with the wood-cut style, I think. |

That last image doesn't look like light in the dark; it looks more like the gamespace has been reduced to a circle. You should draw a scratchy gradient between the light and the dark.
Although that might require some creative solutions to keep it from looking like the light orb is static in shape, it is possible.

Thanks for all the thoughts, guys. I'll experiment more with hatching and maybe adding some gray tones once the lantern is figured out code-wise. Here's some skull-floaty follower goodness, much more fluid now!  |

So, it looks great! Reading the topic I had the same thought that others already have said - the white and black are a bit too tiring. And also it's not immediately clear what are the important elements on the screen. I think the tiring part could be solving just changing both the white and the black to shades of gray!  I took these shades of gray from that first reference image you posted! Also I agree that the crosshatching and darker areas should help a lot with the contrast issue! |

simple & effective, i like the way it is.
i'd like how efficient it is when he is encountering other characters.
