At Dojojojo, we believe that art should be done by real humans--not AI. This is something we've invested heavily in as a 2-person team that's bootstrapping our way to something meaningful. Every character, every splash screen you see has been hand-crafted by artists who genuinely care about the craft.
The concept art process
Our concept art starts with research and thought. Reynard works closely with our freelance concept artists, providing inspiration references and sketching out initial ideas together. It's a back-and-forth process--sharing inspo, discussing poses, refining shapes--until the concept feels right.
We don't cut corners. You'll can see the thinking behind each design, the iterations, and the final concepts that made it into the game.
Our characters come to life
Each pet in Dojojojo started as a sketch, was refined through discussion, and now exists as a fully animated companion. Here's a look at the final concept art for some of our characters:
The team behind the art
We currently have 5 amazing freelance artists on board, each bringing their own unique style and passion to the project. From concept art to final animations, these talented humans are the reason Dojojojo looks and feels the way it does. Shoutout to Halanox, Kah Loke, Katherine, Jia yi and Moigam! We're incredibly grateful to be working with such amazing artists.
From concept to screen
Here's a timelapse of our splash screen coming together--showing just how much work goes into even a single screen in the game.
We can't wait to share more. Stay tuned as we'll be releasing more details about our characters and their evolutions soon. There's so much more heart and soul to show you. 💜
