Murder at Hen’s Roost is a free to play Professor Layton-esque murder mystery by LinkAkami, now available on itch.io! I had the pleasure of painting and set dressing these quaint and cozy backgrounds. (I looooove the original Layton games, so this style was super fun to work in. 💖 )

[ID: A series of screenshots for the visual novel Murder at Hen’s Roost. The first image is an illustration inside of a vintage train. Red cushioned seats are on either side of the compartment with a window overlooking the countryside in the center. The game title is overlaid on top in a bold dark grey serif font with gold outlining. Additional images are screenshots from the game showing the cast of characters. The primary location is a quaint countryside inn with victorian style furnishings.]

Another preview for “Murder at Hen’s Roost” by LinkAkami.

[ID: A cropped preview of a visual novel background in a painterly style. The main focus is a garden path leading up to a quaint countryside building. The garden is bursting with vibrant flowers of all colors, and foliage of trees in the foreground frame the sky. The building is blue and white and covered in sprawling ivy.

A process gif shows the construction of the background step by step, starting with a rough greyscale layout and perspective grids. Colors are added and adjusted after. Then the painting is done in passes, starting with the building, and moving towards the foreground. Some stylized line art is added at the end along with color adjustments and atmospheric effects.]

Whoops, my portfolio here could use some major updating. Here’s a preview and (sort of) process gif for a recent VN background. This is for “Murder at Hen’s Roost” by LinkAkami (cloverlimit @ twitter), which is planned for release in the very near future!

Layout/SketchUp render provided by LinkAkami. Lines and colors are by me.

[ID: A cropped illustration preview of a visual novel background. The main colors are warm browns and beige and it has a cozy feeling. The focus is on a staircase in a foyer with afternoon light streaming in from an unseen doorway. Various framed landscape paintings and pressed flower art pieces decorate the walls and stairwell.

A process gif shows the construction and painting of the background, starting from a 3D-assisted layout with rough colors. Stylized line art is drawn on top, followed by a gradual layering of base colors, painted wood textures, shading, and final lighting effects.]

Haven’t posted in awhile! Here’s a preview and gif process for a recent background I finished for "Murder at Hen's Roost" by Linkakami (cloverlimit @ twitter). A SketchUp layout was provided, and I did colors, lines, and additional set dressing in Photoshop and Procreate.

[ID: A cropped preview of a visual novel parlor background. The main focus is a sitting area with a couch, chair and large table with a tray out for tea. It has a quaint feeling with lots of warm colors and framed art on the walls. A process gif shows the sketching and painting process. ]

Another recent background. I posted this on my sketch blog, but I fiddled with the curves for this version for readability.

[ID: A cropped visual novel background of a walled town center with at dawn. The early morning sky bathes the environment in a peachy orange hue. The street is paved in uneven bricks and there are buildings in the distance. Rough and complete brush strokes are around the edges of the frame.]

Long time no post! I’m still kicking on my main (@tophatcats) and working on backgrounds as usual. I miss posting process gifs, so here’s a small snippet of some set dressing details from a commission last year.

Backgrounds I made last year for the game Mon-cuties for All by Reine Works. Part of the 2017 Maximum Monster Month game jam.
