Hello everybody! Igal here, co-producer on Inua, and I wanted to introduce you to [b]Inua's art direction[/b]. It was the work of Delphine Fourneau. The first concepts our art director Delphine came up with at the end of the first meetings with the authors blew us away.

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40083292/ae75070b5a09f07d88e2cdc43fcc7ed5ddf2f0bb.gif[/img] To nourish her artistic vision, she carried out rigorous visual research work. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/40083292/535dc3f35e58de2d12c19bae9b8bbb748ef103ce.jpg[/img] This preparatory work influenced way we broke down and restructured the story, and it played a big role in unifying the disparate visions of the various members of the team at the start of the project.

She associated each character with a unique palette, allowing her to accompany the psychological development of our heroes over the course of the story with a chromatic evolution.

Level after level, scene after scene, she gradually brought the environments to life.

Each illustration was then given to motion designer Abel Kohen, who brilliantly brought them to life.

The entire team is proud to have been able to collaborate with a talent of this caliber. Here at IKO, we decorate our offices with her illustrations.
