My contribution to the KDU x Sprite Global Aesthetic Exploration.

A slightly straightforward and obvious short story. Looking for a perfect blend of the traditional comic book panels and early adventure game layouts.

I can’t speak for others, but I do know I owe more to the Japanese culture than the average person. I can’t even begin to imagine how different my life would be if I didn’t learn how to play Famicom at the same time I was learning arithmetics…

Style experimentation inspired by text-based RPG games and monochrome screens. I plan to expand on this direction through the year.

See the entire sketchbook, along with the previous ones, here.

My latest personal piece — this is what Maneki Neko would probably look like in an parallel universe.

I’d like to start things off with this personal illustration. I thought it’d be quite amusing to combine 18th-century vibe with a 1990’s japanese video game inspired mecha character.

KDU promo piece coming soon!
