Here is the artwork for the Mission: Red Planet game board. The board is modular, consisting of two half circle cards that are double sided, so the 4 images had to be created in a way that they would fit together in any of the 4 possible combinations. While I’m not a texture artist, I have worked in the games industry for 25 years, so I have created my fair share of tileable textures over the years so this wasn’t too hard a task.
While all parts of this project were fun, working on the game board art was probably one of the most enjoyable aspects of this gig, as it was a new experience for me. Over my career I’ve done countless character designs and I have done a bunch of cover art work, but this was my first game board.
Anyways, big thanks to Maxime Erceau and Matagot for the opportunity.
