The Making of Elf Island

The Making of Elf Island


September 23rd, 2008


Elf Island is almost ready to launch! Our team of writers, producers,
painters, illustrators, animators, and other quirky folks are making
sure every grain of sand is ready for your toes upon reaching our
shores.

One of the biggest roles on Elf Island is our Lead Illustrator,
Craig “CT” Thomas. He is the mastermind behind many of the images
you’ve seen in the blog, and will enjoy once you arrive on Elf Island.
He also develops many of the wonderful concepts in Elf Island. The
rough skin of the Hill Giant. The flames of the Igoony. All the hybrid
animals to come. CT has a big hand in all of it.

After the final sketches are approved, the images are sent to the careful hands of a digital painter.

Next, our animators take the painted images and create moving images.

Finally, the Tech team configures numbers and letters in a secret code to make everything pop-up on your computer screen.

There are a lot of hands working behind the scenes of Elf Island to make sure everything is in tip top shape for your arrival.

If you were part of our team, what role do you think you could play?
Would you develop great ideas, draw cool pictures, make amazing
paintings, design awesome games, control the technology behind
everything, or something completely different?
