Borderlands, a role-playing shooter video game stands out from its other competition due to its unique art style not typically seen in many video games today which rather aim for the most realistic graphics possible. The hand-drawn style of the game only becomes more exciting once in the game itself as you are able to move around in it - almost as if you have been shoved inside a comic book, free to do what you like (This idea of freedom is only heightened by the genre of the game being free-roam, meaning the generated world is massive and open). The characters are often exaggerated in terms of movement, along with the anticipation of their movements. Art director, Brian Martel reiterates that they 'wanted it to truly feel like a piece of concept art that has come to life'. Personally I love the artwork within the game. It is truly fresh and something completely different to a typical video game allowing you to indulge in the game.
