Pippies

Art & game worlds

Character studies, watercolor and game imagery. Three actual artifacts, with the human hand still visible.

01 / LINE STUDY

An idea, before
it behaves.

Loose red-pencil motion studies place the Pippie in a series of poses. These are the supplied drawings; the page does not animate or reconstruct them.

02 / WATERCOLOR

A gesture becomes
an atmosphere.

Two Pippies share a red boat. The watercolor keeps the marks and texture of the physical medium visible.

A reading of the work: the small figures and surrounding space make this feel like a moment inside a larger world. That is an interpretation of the image, rather than a claim about its production history.

03 / GAME IMAGE

Somewhere
to live.

The supplied game reference places the character in another medium. It is presented at its original 270 × 220 size, preserving what the source can actually show.

These images invite a comparison of line, paint and game imagery. They do not establish a production sequence or a conversion process between them.
