Game Research: Evaluation #1
The game has cartoon styled characters and uses bold colours, it uses a few shades of each colour for the object. Its a very great artistic design and brings a great smoothness to the cell shading.The game appears to be hand drawn and bright colours are used.
If the game had been done using a photorealistic art style the tone and feel of the game would be more serious, it would be trying to make the game look as real as possible which is tricky because we don’t have a bases for comparison.
Using cell shading makes it better because its results can completely change the ‘feel’ of a game.

Game Research: Evaluation #3 characters
It recreates a style of a traditional 2D series. It uses the 3D graphics and preserves all the characteristics that show all the original hand drawn animations.
The style has been used because The consequence of cel shading is that it gives everything an airy, physically light feeling because there is generally a more smooth texture and lighting in the game.
Game Research: Collage #3 charactersFacial expression on characters face
Characters costumes
The specific style of the way the characters are animated in this game interested me particularly because I like the definition of the muscles and the unusual hair and colour which is different for a cel-shaded game.
Game Research: Review #3This information will help me with my sketches by understanding the style of cel-shaded games and the graphics used. As well as it being a very difficult technique.
The graphical style cel-shading which is known as toon shading is a type of non-photorealistic design which makes computer graphics to give the impression to be hand-drawn. It uses simple colours and is often used to imitate the style of a comic book or cartoon. Games such as Naruto and Dragon Ball Z and many others use cell shaded graphics to give games characters and environment a certain feel. This feel is to make it look like your playing in a cartoon.
This relates to the genre because cel-shading is most commonly used in comedic games or games for young children, it has an effect on a players experience which is,it gives models a simple and clean cartoon look many games use this style because it is new and fresh. The games tend to have a much more original feel to them.
