Artist Statement
Creating characters is one of my passions. In my art I emphasize deeper storytelling through visuals. No matter what is thrown at me,I can always absorb and express my artistic vision through various mediums. There are limitation in life, but I consider them new and interesting challenges. I strongly believe Willem Van Der Schyf quote where he said once "If its not hard then your not learning."
While studying the fundamentals of game development, I took a heavier interest in character design. Expanding my studies and research, I've gathered an understanding and the grasp of what makes a character successful. I believe the believability of the story behind a character is the most important aspect of a design, because a character should be as real as me.
