    uniE621 Dungeons and Dragons character - Santiago De Leon Version 2
    Santiago DeLeon is a character that I play in a Dungeon and Dragons game in a pirate- inspired world. I wanted a Visual to help me find what personality he might have and I ended up with a grumpy, nerdy, tough guy with a heart of gold. I wasn't entirely satisfied with the first outfit so I redesigned it, taking inspiration from Sora's design in Kingdom Hearts II. designer graphicdesigner art artist conceptart conceptartist pirate photoshop characterdesign character dungeonsanddragons photoshop adobe krita

    uniE621 Dubious - The Squire
    I worked as a solo artist on the game "Dubious", a video game project me and the team developed on during our time at the Technocité of Mons. It tells the tale of a Knight and their Squire on a quest to deliver a mystical artifact on the other side of a mysterious (and magical) Forest. We purposefully designed the Knight and the Squire to be gender ambiguous, so the player could identify themselves as either of the characters. The Squire uses the color red so as to evoke their brash and energic nature. It also works well with yellow and contrasts nicely with the cold hues of the forest. The helmet is designed to hint at their future transformation into a ghost with the feather and round hollow eyes arkening back to the "ghost under a blanket" trope. Finally, the smaller frame of the Squire contrasted nicely with the buff silhouette of the Knight. It gives their duo a fun visual dynamic.

It tells the tale of a Knight and their Squire on a quest to deliver a mystical artifact on the other side of a mysterious (and magical) Forest. We purposefully designed the Knight and the Squire to be gender ambiguous, so the player could identify themselves as either of the characters. I also added rabbit-like elements to the design of the Knight as to foreshadow their transformation later on. The yellow coloring was chosen over the rest to evoke gold and thus the "noble" background of the Knight. It's also visually striking against the green/blue hues of the Forest. Finally, the "buff" silhouette was meant to contrast with the smaller frame of the Squire. It gives their duo a fun visual dynamic.

    uniE621 Romulus - VR Chat avatar
    A 3 weeks project where we learned to model, rig and texture a 3D model. I went for a character referencing the myth of Rome's creation but also represented my aesthetic tastes. That's why Romulus became a half-mechanical Werewolf!

    uniE621 Household FanArt - Humphrey's last words
    An illustration done to commemorate a very emotional Game of Household, a great TTRPG by TwoLittleMice. I created this for a friend who wanted this scene, featuring Humphrey leaving his trusty hat to Gwen, to be immortalised. It was a challenge but I learned a lot and was quite happy with the result (as was my friend).
