Xorakus Board Game - Terrain Tiles

These were a set of illustrations that I did for the terrain tiles in the the board game, Xorakus. As with all of the Xorakus illustrations, these required a fair amount of world building / concept art.

One of the big considerations for these illustrations was scale. The various environments may be drastically different in scale, but they need to flow together as a continuous map. However, the tiles also need to have a lot of unique and interesting variation.

I used a couple of strategies to increase the continuity, such as adding trees around the edges of the tiles that are roughly the same color and size, and keeping the light source consistent across all of the tiles.

In addition to choosing very different types of spaces, I used pattern and color to make each tile unique and interesting. #illustrator #environmentalillustrations
