Color: The color palettes are limited but impactful, often featuring a dominant color (like red) paired with black, white, and occasional accents of other colors (like gray or yellow). This creates a sense of visual drama and emphasizes the bold outlines and graphic quality of the illustrations. The colors are typically flat and unshaded (or with minimal shading).
Lighting: The lighting is often stylized and dramatic, with strong highlights and shadows to create a sense of depth and dimension. The light source may be exaggerated or used to create specific effects, like rim lighting or dramatic backlighting. The lighting often follows the conventions of comic book art, emphasizing form and action.
Design Technique: The styles emulate the aesthetic of comic book art or graphic novels, with bold outlines, dynamic poses, stylized anatomy, and a focus on action and storytelling. The characters are often depicted in heroic or dramatic poses, with expressive features and detailed costumes or armor. The compositions are often dynamic and visually striking, using techniques like foreshortening, perspective, and panel layouts to create a sense of energy and movement. The styles convey a sense of epic storytelling, dramatic intensity, classic yet stylized aesthetic, and a focus on fantasy, action, or medieval themes.
