First character I tried to draw from the pixel art is this novakid girl. The left drawing is my first attempt at it, before researched more into it and realised that they are heavily influenced by the american wild west so drew the second design on the right.
I also tried out these two floran designs, trying to get my barrings with the style of Starbound.
After doing a couple of thumbnail designs for the promo art, looking at using caves as the main idea, I decided that i wanted to use an avian character and a novakid character.
The avians seem to worship gods in a similar way to egyptians, and their design seems to be based around this so I tried work around that.
Once I got my bearings around their design, I made more in-depth thumbnails for the promo art looking at the colour and composition of the piece.
I decided that I like how this one looks, and it works well in terms of space and colours. I also added the Starbound logo to see how it would fit in.
I've started working on the final promo piece now, so that I can give myself more time to make it look as good as I can. I also want to give myself time to work on its composition if I decide it doesn't work.
