Either way, this is especially interesting but hard to analyze. You see a man, whom you can only suppose is the protagonist Adam Jensen, smoking a cigarette in the foreground with a large city looming in the background....

In an age as determined to be as modern as possible, it’s sometimes difficult to find artists who will approach art by touching a pencil to paper and creating it all by hand. WayForward’s Marc Gomez, on the other hand, chose to approachA Boy and His Blob‘s charming design in a way that, while certainly more time-consuming, definitely reflects the effort and time invested. Hit the jump to check out a video that shows off some of the original concept art from the game, which depicts everything from an overly emotive Blob to some totally different looks for the characters altogether....
