THE BEAUTY CULT

“The Beauty Cult” is a self described “Garden-vania”, a mashup of the Metroidvania and Garden-sim genres (think Hollow Knight + Stardew Valley). It is currently in development and produced by Team Beauty Cult, a small team of dedicated individuals. I was brought on as a 2D pixel character animator. All character designs were designed by Team Beauty Cult.

Aisa, the main protagonist of “The Beauty Cult”, was an interesting delve into pixel animation. With Aisa being only 32 pixels tall, and with a highly dynamic camera that for the most part stayed very far zoomed out, I had to make sure the character looked good both up close and from a very far away. Emphasis had to be placed on the silhouette of the character/actions above all else.
