🗓️ Week 3 – Towers
🎨 Concept Art — Mood board, palette, and cozy medieval tower visual style guide.
🎯 Goal: Make a couple of animated tower options for players to choose from
I’m taking a Domestika course on how to use procreate so I can learn to make my own art assets.

ChatGPT recommended these ideas. I gave it the prompt, restricted it to my colors, and the kawaii art style and this is what it came up with. It’s a little confused between a medieval tower and a canon or missile launcher tower… Really just wanted to work with castle tower structures this week.
This is my first attempt at drawing a tower for the game, trying to mimic the art style above, and keeping the color palette very simple. I’m also learning how to animate so I did some small changes over 4 frames and made the animation. This is my first pass at each of these. They also have simple animations.
Here’s the vlog showing the animations in the game editor Godot, and then in the active game.
I’m sure my art lacks finesse, but it’s getting it done. If the app sells well because if it’s functionality maybe I can employee and artist to remake the art later. One step at time.
