This piece serves as a homage to my favorite game director, Hidetaka Miyazaki. It
explores the expansive role of a game director in the creation of a monumental game.
Miyazaki is depicted wielding the iconic Great Moon Sword, symbolizing his leadership
and creative vision in pushing the boundaries of game development.The Knight With the Shining Armour is a homage to piece to Dark Soul 3, a game the
that gave me inspiration, and made the artist that i am today.This artwork represents a departure from my usual style, as I sought to explore diverse
illustrative techniques. Through this piece, I aim to demonstrate my versatility as
an artist, showcasing my ability to adapt and experiment with various artistic styles
and expressions.This artwork is a tribute to my friend's beloved pet chicken, affectionately named
Nuggy. Additionally, it incorporates a whimsical nod to an inside joke involving a
friend's supposed penchant for chicken smoothies. Through playful imagery and a humorous
"BAWK," the piece captures the essence of friendship and shared laughter.

*My art dives into the shadows of the human mind, weaving tales of dark beauty and
haunting creatures. Drawing from myth and the depths of imagination, each piece invites
viewers into a world where nightmares and reality intercepts. Through my work, I explore
themes of fear, chaos, and the allure of the unknown, inviting audiences to confront
their deepest fears and embrace the darkness within and yourself.*
