THE EXPLORATOR
FRENCH FANCY
Bringing bandes-desinée style to life in The Explorator
Ravaz explains how
The Explorator
’s 3D line-art style is achieved: “A combination of lightmapping – light generated indirectly – which gives this softness in the colours, and the cel-shading effect which makes the objects perceptible”
Almost exactly seven years ago, these pages played host to a little game called Sable, showcasing a visual style inspired by legendary French comic artist Jean ‘Moebius’ Giraud. Seeing a trailer for the debut release from Shedworks, around that time, was what first inspired Sydney Ravaz to begin work on the game featuring in the same spot this month.
