Video game characters and concept art evolve from an entire spectrum of molds that are used frequently in literature and historical artwork. Through mediums such as oil paint and digital painting, I aim to demonstrate the significance and represenational value that video game characters inherit. This also allows me to pull from both traditional values such as hierarchical compositional structure and atmospheric perspective, which can be demonstrated by Masaccio in the 1400’s. Joseph Campbell’s explanation of a hero’s journey is a feeling that resonates with what I wish to achieve as an artist. The hero is initially inexperienced and reluctant, but once he/she overcomes great obstacles, then a true hero is born to bring wisdom and prosperity to others.
