Animal Crossing: New Horizons provides gamers with a whole island to explore and decorate and gives them more customization options than ever. One way to customize the island's decor is to write or draw something on the bulletin board located in the town square. An Animal Crossing: New Horizons player recently showed off a collection of their bulletin board art, and it is spectacular to say the least.
Over the years, many Animal Crossing: New Horizons players have used the game as a platform to create tributes to their favorite franchises. The Animal Crossing: New Horizons' bulletin board is a good platform for these tributes, especially since it can support detailed drawings that lack the Animal Crossing games' stylized graphics. However, some artists appear to have truly mastered the bulletin board and can create masterpieces on the Switch screen.
Redditor taotaodeli showed off a total of 27 pieces of bulletin board art they created in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which were preserved in individual screenshots. Each piece shows a unique scene, with many depicting the adorable characters of Animal Crossing interacting with each other and their surroundings. Some of these even appear to depict holiday celebrations inside the game. They are all painstakingly drawn with an incredible level of detail.
Some of the recurring villagers shown in taotaodeli's art are the ever-popular Raymond, Judy, and Shino. However, they didn't limit themselves to just drawing existing Animal Crossing characters - they also appear to have drawn several different player characters hanging out with the other villagers and each other. Additionally, taotaodeli also drew tribute art to several iconic characters from other franchises. This includes a detailed close up of San from the Studio Ghibli movie Princess Mononoke as well as Raymond hanging out with the player character from Persona 5 in full phantom thief getup. A third image features Link in his Breath of the Wild design preparing to draw the Master Sword from its resting place.
All of taotaodeli's art features a pale and stylized color scheme that relies heavily on pinks, yellows, and light blues as well as black and white. The result often feels surreal and dreamlike, but can also be used to create stylish and fiery drawings. This is demonstrated by a piece that shows Portgas D. Ace from One Piece wreathed in fire and preparing for combat using the same light color scheme as the other drawings. Another bulletin board is dedicated to showing the intensely determined faces of the four main characters of Naruto, each with a single color dedicated to them.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
