In certain cases elements of Castle Crashers went through a “placeholder” phase. This is where Tom Fulp (programmer) will give Dan (artist) some placeholder art and Dan will start the creative process from there. Most of the “programmer art” is usually hilarious to look at and the contrast between the initial placeholder version to Dan’s final version is impressive to say the least.

This process is what inspired the Painter boss, who paints things that Tom has drawn.

Here’s an example……

Finally, here’s the video and as usual it’s sped up to 650% of it’s original speed. So if it looks like Dan is moving around all over the page like a greased up Canadian, don’t worry it’s intended.
