It has begun…

Yes I know that is quotes from the God awful film Mortal Kombat… sue me.

My course in Game art at De Montfort has come and now it is time for me to step my game up. To be honest when I look at my fellow peer’s artwork I feel intimidated but this is the sole reason I joined the course so that I could acquire the skills to become the best artist I can become. It wasn’t too long ago that I didn’t have a care in the world and didn’t take much interest in anything other than video games but then along came Batman Arkham City and I was inspired by the concept art. I was just scrolling through at what I had unlocked and was blown away by the sheer detail put into each artwork.  I like the way they were going for a realistic approach but still keeping true to the comic theme, I also loved the dark and gritty feel they used on characters such as Penguin as they replaced his classic monocle with the base of a glass bottle (which was an incident he had in a bar fight).  After I had a look at what I had unlocked I was possessed to unlock the rest of these art works, this is what inspired me as I would love to contribute towards games like Batman by my artwork. Ever since looking at the concept art in Batman I started drawing in my spare time these  fictional characters and after playing games that I really enjoy,  I look up for the concept art towards games such as Bio Shock: infinite, Mortal Kombat 9, Far Cry 3 etc.

Here are some that I particularly like:

Batman Arkham City- Batman and Joker

Bio Shock: Infinte- Song Bird

Far Cry 3- Vaas
