Here comes Vieux Marseille, another stylized NPC from Tempête. Marseille was heavily inspired by Ghibli's aethetics & colors and several famous characters such as Gluttony from Full Metal Alchemist. It was my first try at food texturing & modeling, I hope it looks as good as it is for Marseille !
Tempête's pitch :
"Every morning in Pétrole-sur-Mer, you wake up to indulge in a well-oiled routine. After a quick phone call from your best friend, you join Grisemine to go grenade fishing. Once that's done, you swing by Malice and Crapuce’s shop, carefully avoiding Hostile, who always plays alone on the beach. You then find Vieux Marseille, loyal to his post (the only table on the terrace of the sole café in Pétrole-sur-Mer), and Alguemorte, the waitress, to gossip about the latest antics of Capitaine Rascasse, the village fool. Grandma Sardine is never far behind when it comes to rumors, always managing to insert herself into conversations with her inappropriate hints. Another beautiful day ends without anything disrupting your little routine, not even the growing oil spill from the factory barely visible on the horizon. Not even the Storm rumbling in the distance. From Pétrole-sur-Mer, they seem so unreal... It’s almost as if everything is just fine."
See you soon for the next villagers !
