Zool Planets Concept Artwork

The Sheffield Hallam student game studio Steel Minions were given the opportunity to work on the Zool IP and bring it up to date as part of a competition set by Ian Stewart (the founder of Gremlin). They were keen to give Zool a refreshing look which both acknowledged his history and marked him out as a bad-ass ninja master for future generations to enjoy.

The Steel Minions design team worked their way though 4 separate concepts over the course of a year, pitching them to Ian and Sean Millard (Creative Director of Sumo) before arriving at the final Zool Planets concept.
