Description: A piece of my character Emilia fighting against the “Abyss”, a piece to push my skills for detailing backgrounds and an homage to the art direction of Splatterhouse.
Artist Statement: In my artworks, I visually express myself through my own and official various fictional characters with their own unique stories to tell. They’re vessels that are embodiments of specific moments in my life, a mosaic of isolated events that build a bigger picture that is me as a person. Facing betrayal from those closest to me, finding true friends, and even day to day experiences are contributions to what my artwork becomes.
Alphonse Mucha’s intricate detail to his line art, Yuming Li’s smooth rendering of colors as well as striving for a comic style are what greatly influenced the way I approach my art. These blends of inspirations have allowed me to flourish my own distinct “style.” Rather than limiting myself to one method, I instead embraced a flourishing range and continue to build and improve my own techniques. I’ve bought countless art guide books, attended art programs and watched art tutorials for 10 years to reach where I am now. But nearly everything inspires me such as certain atmospheres of video games like Splatterhouse, or animated shows like Arcane, even going through Pinterst sparks innovation to try something new. In short, I own a unique and colorful palette of art craft that is present throughout all my experimental art.
