Visual reference for tone (not content): artstation.com/artwork/Za5bJR Please don’t DM if your work is primarily realistic, hyper-detailed, or gore-focused — this project is stylized and restrained.

Hiring stylized environment / concept art. Clear scope. See image and reply. #conceptart #gameart #stylizedart #commissionedgameart

Current phase is visual exploration — concept frames and look-dev to lock tone before production assets. Keeping scope small and focused so the style stays intentional. #conceptart #environmentart

Early rule I’m sticking to: If silhouettes don’t read, the scene doesn’t work. Everything else is secondary — texture, detail, even color. #conceptart #environmentart

Visual inspiration for the tone I’m chasing — graphic shapes, bold lighting, compositional clarity > realism or surface detail. Not gory. Not noisy. Atmospheric.imagine Ari Aster made a golf game. #gameart #stylizedart #indiedev

Exploring visual direction for a stylized, atmospheric golf game. Cel/toon-shaded, minimal HUD, lighting+ shadow doing most of the storytelling. Horror-backbone, restrained; mood over shock. Something like this (ref: yakurond.artstation.com) #gameart #stylizedart #indiedev

What?! A game within a game? Fun 2D exploration and experiments. #gamedev #IndieGameDev
