Kung-fu and Speed Painting: Sifu's Art Direction and World Building Approach

In this talk, you'll learn how the creative pillars behind Sifu's visual identity bring a sense of unity to the game's world, hinging on salient principles of Chinese martial arts, classic action cinema, and digital painting techniques. Explore with Art Director Paul-Emile Boucher the elements of Wuxing, the Confucian moral code, and get an in-depth look into the unique flavor brought by speed painting to the game's volumes, shapes, and textures.
