Environment & Character Design Exploration

My work in oil painting serves as both a creative foundation and an extension of my digital practice in game development. Through a series of original paintings, I’ve explored worldbuilding, environmental storytelling, and character identity in a traditional medium — applying the same principles used in concept art and visual development.

These pieces demonstrate:

  • Environment design with a focus on mood, light, and atmosphere — essential for establishing compelling in-game worlds.

  • Character-focused compositions that explore costume, gesture, and archetype through expressive brushwork and form.

  • A deep understanding of color theory, composition, and narrative symbolism, all of which inform my digital work in Unreal Engine and 2D concept design.

While rooted in fine art, these paintings are designed with game aesthetics and storytelling potential in mind, bridging traditional techniques with modern game art sensibilities.
