Bravely Default: Flying fairy

Bravely default is and upcoming 3DS JRPG by the makers of the Final fantasy series. The same artist who does the art for the Tactics games, including Tactics Ogre, which I talked about previously, does the artwork.

 Again the work includes the soft colours and lined shading like the example of the Tactics game. The artist, Akihiko Yoshida, has a very distinct style and can be easily recognised.

I found some examples of background art while researching this game, again fitting with the preferred style for our game idea. I particularly liked this design of a shopping district that is entirely made out of boats. The warm colouring and light in the background give the place a very welcoming feel, this could possibly be a town you visit a lot and is where you go to stock up on things for your journey.

 Another background example is this picture of the battlements of a castle, I chose this image because it is at an isometric view and fits perfectly with our chosen game idea.
