I've had this odd idea for a game recently and there's a very specific art style that would work nicely with it. I'm nowhere near the stage where I'd actually need artists, so this isn't an offer of employment, I'm just looking to see who does these sorts of things and get some inspiration.
All the characters (and indeed the landscape features) in the game are made out of discarded things. Some that I've worked up so far:
* A refrigerator with vacuum hose arms and legs, rabbit-ear antennae, and a TV inside.
* A womanly shape of burned-out matches, with a chipped porcelain mask and hands made of candelabras.
* Red footy pajamas filled with rusted wind-up toys, carrying sparklers, with a goldfish bowl head.
<a href="http://www.mckean-art.co.uk/">Dave McKean's</a> style comes to mind immediately for me. Who else out there does this sort of art? I know I've seen some, but I can't remember where.
