This study was to grasp the present address of progressed graphic and was to prepare the efficient plan that can produce differentiated online game in the flood of online game by comparing an analyzing game graphic of "world of warcraft" and "lineage2" that are enjoying the best popularity in Korea through grotesque expression.
To achieve this purpose, we looked in to the background that the grotesque expression of the online game into expression in each feature classifying of grotesque in heterogeneity, evilness, disgust and playfulness shown in the two game.
Modern art came to prefer strange and exaggerated grotesque image than the nomal and plain image. in the game, graphics of unnatural or funny expression of grotesque mode that is far away frome the xiting prtty and wonderful images are showing up. the graphic of grotesque expression is well received by stimulating the gamers who pursue new things and are fed up with the grapic which regarded appearance omportant.
As we examine the results of case analysis by grotesque feature shown in WOW and Lineage2, first, the game graphic of heterogenous feature was expressed by coexistence of heterogeneous factors such as animal factor and humanistic factor, me and women and contrasting images, so it isn't harmonious and gives abnomal feelings. and the game graphic of evil feature was expressed to give the destructive and using black and red color that symbolize death and blood. Last the game graphic of disgusting feature is shown as the monster image or abnormal phisical distortion that the humans feel unpeasant and disgusting.
Fourth, the game graphic of playful is shown as the form that gives surprise and laugh to the person seeing it as the violation of regular rules distortion of ratio an coarse visual expression.
The results of considering the grotesque expression show that 4 features were shown overlapped and grotesque expression was shown more variously and strongly in WOW than Lineage2. This is because domestic game prefers pretty and refined graphic, while USA prefers the graphic that is actual and more or less rough looking graphic. Also, the lack of understanding about mediebal fantasy world wiew of the domestic designers is one of the reasons why grotesque expression is not shown much.
Grotesque expression in online game gives frshness, fun and strong and different fascination, and have the strong points such as raising the comleteness of the game by letting is describe fantasy world view better and raising flow.
But in game character the grotersque exprssion is not accepted well when it is used excessively. the grotesque expression is not accepted well when it is used excessively. This is because gamers think the game character as the alter ego that lives the game word on behalf of themselves, and want beautiful and good-looking character. Therfore, we will have to utilize grotesque mode as the effective method to develop unique and individualized game graphic, but in character, they will have to control the strength of use cinsidering the tastes of the gamers
