Horror game characters - concept art
A collection of character concept art for an upcoming horror indie-game by myself and the grumpy Mr. K.
The game is based upon the popular webcomic Curly: The Cursed Con Man. However, the story is perceived as a side story set in the same world, rather than starring the loudmouthed Irishman himself. One day the deadbeat mechanic Tracey Hudson wakes up in his apartment after a night out partying with friends. However, the world he wakes up in is not his own, but rather a nightmarish version of his hometown caught in limbo with dangers lurking in the mist-filled streets.
Inspiration range from the Silent Hill series, The Evil Within, and Alien: Isolation to Stephen King, the Supernatural tv-series and anime such as My Hero Academia. This indie-game is part of a greater project to launch Curly and his horror/comedy world from the shadows of the internet to a larger multimedia franchise. Will it succeed? Only time will tell. All sharing and caring to spread the word are appreciated!
