Illustration, on the other hand, is an artistic technique used to visually express a subject. It involves the use of drawing, painting, or other visual elements to create visual representations. Illustrations are commonly used in storybooks, magazines, advertisements, comics, games, and other visual media. They help facilitate the understanding of text or narration, evoke emotional responses, or convey a message. These visual elements can be created using unique styles, colors, and compositions to better express the atmosphere and character of a piece. Open-world games are video games that offer players the freedom to freely explore and navigate within a vast game world. These games typically provide players with a large map or game area in which they can move around freely. Players can choose to complete main quests, participate in side missions, engage in exploration, and interact with interactive elements within the game world. Open-world games often aim to provide players with a deep and immersive gaming experience through detailed environmental designs, rich characterizations, and extensive customization options. This thesis focuses on the examination of illustrations in open-world games. Illustrations in this context refer to the graphical elements that form the visual aspects of the game world, such as graphics, environmental designs, and character models. These features are utilized to enrich the gaming experience and enhance players' immersion in the game world. The thesis analyzes different illustration styles employed in various open-world games and investigates how these illustrations contribute to the game's atmosphere, characterization, and storytelling. Furthermore, it aims to provide insights to game developers regarding how illustrations can impact the overall gaming experience.
