The RetroBook Project: Phase I

[Kelekin]

Sorry for the delayed reply - I have been dealing with family emergencies (funerals and such) and that has taken my time away.

Here's where the project is at. We ran into some issues with colour limitation. They have basically told us that because of the low print one, they are pressing multiple art on the same plate. So are best bet is to do two colour options:

1) Have monochrome art limited to one or two spot colours -OR-
2) Have monochrome sketches and use one colour across the whole piece

The Super Mario Bros. artwork that we had was completed, but due to these changes, we will need to make some major changes. However, our Legend of Zelda art is about 90% done, and we are deciding whether or not we want to do it in green or gold, or have variants and do both.

Currently, I am waiting to get another meeting with Steelbook with one of my artists to figure out exactly what our limitations are once again and how best to pursue it. It is unfortunate that we will have limited colours at our disposal, but some of the best cases I have seen have been with limited colour (Last Story, Resident Evil: ORC to name a couple).
