Most my time working on Storybook Brawl was spent auditing the pre-existing art assets and reworking the implementation to establish a solid foundation to grow from. I was often the only full time artist on staff and would oversee incoming assets from codevelopers. This meant lots of paint-overs/gifs to communicate goals and visual direction to start building the supporting systems which would later be populated with finalized art.
Sadly we got shut down before reaching the part where we got to finalize the art, and the game is no longer accessible.
