A Closer Look at the Graphics Styles of 2D Game Art

As a comprehensive 2D game art outsourcing studio, we offer clients expertise in a wide variety of graphic styles of 2D game art. Usually, all styles are divided into three main types: casual game art, vector game art, and semi-realistic game art. Our extended workforce consists of artists with different expertise which allows us to provide clients with 2D game art services within all graphic styles.

Casual 2D Game Art

One of the most popular visual styles used mostly in idle games, puzzles, and other casual games. Bright palette, simple, friendly shapes, and figures, clean animations, cartoonish vibe–it's all about casual game art. This style is perfect for clear, beautiful gameplay and quick gaming sessions.

Vector 2D Game Art

Vector 2D game art is commonly used in mobile and casual games that require lightweight graphics that can be easily edited and animated. To create vector art, artists use paths, lines, and shapes instead of pixels, which allows them to create clear and crisp visuals at any resolution.

Semi-realistic 2D Game Art

A great choice for narrative and adventure games that strive for photorealism but also require stylistic design. Semi-realistic 2D game art combines both ways of picturing the digital world to achieve balanced visuals. This game art style provides almost realistic visuals enhanced with creative and stylistic design elements.

What is 2D art?

2D art means artwork created in two dimensions: height and width, avoiding depth. It’s a classic artwork that was used for centuries and which was a basis for cartoons, multiplications, and first-ever games. In games, artists use 2D game art and flat visuals to picture environments, characters, assets, props, UI features, and even animations. Artists who provide 2D art services in game development usually have expertise in creating various types of game art, including pixel art, vector graphics, or even hand-drawn illustrations.

What are the stages of 2D game art creation?

To provide clients with exceptional 2D game art services, we established a seamless and effective pipeline that produces unique and outstanding artworks for various games.

Firstly, our artists conduct meticulous research on the game requirements and get inspiration for your project. After this, they visualize their ideas in concept art that illustrates the main stylistic elements, environments, characters, and items. Then, they finalize the style, prepare the main design, craft 2D assets, UI, and animate models.

When artists complete the design, they begin a polishing stage and improve the overall look. Once completed, they implement 2D game art into the game, seamlessly merging it with gameplay.

At the final stage, we conduct thorough testing, gather feedback, and ensure the high performance of the designs and assets across the entire game.

2D game art outsourcing refers to the services that external game artists offer to clients all over the world, which includes creating 2D game visuals, environments, characters, in-game items, concept art, and UI elements.
