Mixed media. Drawn with pen, ink and heavy acrylic on Canson 100lb bristol paper, scanned and then finished with digital painting techniques.
Description:
This piece is inspired by the song of the same name from the game Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Therefore, to enjoy the piece to its fullest, enjoy both the song and the piece together to bring forth a sense of synesthesia.
Thoughts:
The initial thought was to create a main theme at the center, a towering fort similar to the ones in tarot, abyss by the forces surrounding it. Abstract gothic font designs were added to contrast the theme of the composition. Likewise, this piece is also heavily influenced by Ayami Kojima’s art direction in the Castlevania cover art series. Heavy acrylic textures decorate the edge, florals contrast the themes of the characters, and action posts to guide the viewer in a fantasy story setting of boy meets girl. The heroic days.
Mixed Media series:
I’ve grown up being inspired by many artists that have shaped our visual industry with endless stylization, art direction and voices. Therefore this series is dedicated to the times that have influenced the direction of my personal and artistic growth
This list includes but not limiting to the following individual voices: Ayami Kojima(Castlevania: Symphony of the night), Yoshitaka Amano(Final Fantasy Series), Justin Sweet(Icewind dale 2 & Table RPG), Yoh Yoshinari(Valkyrie profile), Tsubasa Masao(Tactic Ogre), Yoji Shinkawa(Zone of Enders) and countless more. Without these individuals’ unique voices, creative designs become stagnant.
