“Evilsk8r, the stylist of the game. All PhantomArcade designs pass through him to take every bit of art to the next level. Whether it's improving current designs, or coming up with their own, they've got no shortage of influence on the game's overall aesthetic. If it wasn't for their sense of style, the game just wouldn't be cool.”
― Friday Night Funkin' Kickstarter campaign description
evilsk8r, also known as block, is an American animator and artist. He is one of the artists for Friday Night Funkin'. He is mainly responsible for the game's artwork and works on character designs with PhantomArcade.
Involvement
evilsk8r was one of the artists contacted by ninjamuffin99 for the game he wanted to make for Ludum Dare 47. ninjamuffin99 had been asking for help from other artists who were all currently too busy to help, but eventually managed to get evilsk8r on board with the project through recommendation. Unlike with Kawai Sprite and PhantomArcade, evilsk8r was the only person in the project that ninjamuffin99 had not interacted with before, but he was more than willing to work with new people. As the game's artist, he was tasked with making the game's art assets such as the game's logo, UI elements and backgrounds. With PhantomArcade, he also created its characters based on a "boyfriend and dad scenario," leading to the creation of Boyfriend, Girlfriend and Daddy Dearest. PhantomArcade first passes along his initial designs to evilsk8r who then adds his inputs onto it, then finally passes it back to PhantomArcade for him to settle on the final design before animating them.
Trivia
- Currently, evilsk8r is erroneously credited as "evilsker" in the opening sequence for Friday Night Funkin'. The 8 in his username is missing due to the game's custom font lacking numbers in the same bubble letter style.
- evilsk8r's character, Buggy the Bug, appears in one of the game's files as a concept artwork along with some other character concepts.
- Buggy also appears as a cameo in the background of Week 5.
