Please don’t DM if your work is primarily realistic, hyper-detailed, or gore-focused — this project is stylized and restrained.

Hiring stylized environment / concept art. Clear scope. See image and reply.

Current phase is visual exploration — concept frames and look-dev to lock tone before production assets. Keeping scope small and focused so the style stays intentional.

Early rule I’m sticking to:

If silhouettes don’t read, the scene doesn’t work.

Everything else is secondary — texture, detail, even color.

Visual inspiration for the tone I’m chasing — graphic shapes, bold lighting, compositional clarity > realism or surface detail.

Not gory. Not noisy. Atmospheric.imagine Ari Aster made a golf game.

Exploring visual direction for a stylized, atmospheric golf game.

Cel/toon-shaded, minimal HUD, lighting+ shadow doing most of the storytelling.

Horror-backbone, restrained; mood over shock.

What?! A game within a game? Fun 2D exploration and experiments. #gamedev #IndieGameDev
