The image shows a screenshot. Nothing can be clearly seen because the image is full of multi-coloured particles everywhere, blindingly so. Amongst the sea of particles one can see some late 19th century buildings surrounded by smoke/smog, and a gigantic crater. Said crater is massive in size but hardly anything can be seen except some long tentacles and the top portion of a tank's cannon, surrounded in flames and pink particles, closer floats in the air a horse-shoe looking droid and some kind of flaming dragon. Closest to the camera there's a figure surrounded by even more fire and pink particles. only two bunny ears and some kind of silver scaled tail can be made off from the silhouette. The HUD reads: a map w/ the objective: "Destroy The Tank". To the right, 8 symbols w/ different %s and decimal numbers can be seen, next to a numerical reading of 744 in purple, 1332 in red. Underneath it says Uriel [30] (1). A triad of splotchy yellow figures arranged in a triangle can be seen with a black bar. At the bottom of the screen, faintly another bar can be seen with some symbols and 427 on it. On the center a green rectangle decorated with a clipboard says "CHALLENGE COMPLETED: DESTROY (1) TANKS +100,000 XP. An username with a swirly symbol next to it and to it's right, a near-invisible (red-on-red) label reading "20m RECOVERING 11%" can be seen. the rest of the screen is littered by several 1.1K and 1.5K readings with a little drawing of a bacillus-shaped bacteria.

I had a lot of fun working on the vector graphics for the UI and the backgrounds for this game.
Another artist then made the backgrounds look more like water color paintings.

Please give it a try if you want.

Anyone remember this old video game? My friends swear they never heard of it.
Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s, this was a favorite arcade video game of mine, Sea Wolf. Game play was monochrome and scarcely more advanced than Pong. You would look through a hand-held periscope and try to torpedo enemy ships.
I think it was the periscope that hooked me. Good times.
