art

Setting aside cliché introductions, I go by ❝Heart.❞ As both an artist and writer, I enjoy bringing my characters to life within scenes shared with others. In addition to portraying my characters through vivid writing, I also illustrate them. The pieces showcased here are my creative expression of these characters. A significant portion of the assets, including the illustrations, belong to me, while the rest are exclusively utilized for graphic design purposes.

🔌 Nicolette Friend 🧰

Meet Nicolette Friend, a bubbly, dorky engineer and a ray of light in the dark, dystopian, and grim universe of Dead Space. Her story has a twist compared to the conventional lore. In this series of works, Nicolette's appearance, both her visage and ensemble, is entirely original. However, her armor draws heavy inspiration from the familiar Dead Space aesthetic, taking elements from both the remake and the retro original with subtle yet noteworthy differences.

⚓ Jodie Colgrave 🐀

Meet Jodie Colgrave, another character of mine born from within a video game universe. However, her attire, appearance, artistic portrayal, and all associated art are entirely original. Her origin story unfolds in a Zomboid Roleplay server I frequented, where she emerged amidst the chaotic landscape of alternate factions. In this server, I played alongside a group of raiders known as the Rust Rats—a faction embodying prohibition-styled mobsters under the guise of businessmen and women. Their modus operandi involved strong-arming gun makers into submission, leaving them as sharks of the industry.

💀 Carrie Rosenberg 🥀

Carrie Rosenberg is a gothic, monotone teen; _{a survivor of} a senior at Suburbia-City High School. She's not afraid to speak her mind, usually in the form of a biting, cynical observation which, while not initially my own artistic creation, has found new life through my efforts. She originates from the largely overlooked and abandoned video game "Monster Madness: Battle For Suburbia" (2007), developed by Artificial Studios Inc. Despite her game's past with the studio closing down, I've undertaken the task of resurrecting Carrie, and fortunately, I've received the blessing from the original writer to expand upon her narrative. However, my commitment remains to preserving the essence of Carrie while breathing new life into her.

🦅 Quinn Stradivari 🎺

In the darkest depths of the 40K universe, there lies a lowly soldier named Quinn Stradivari. As a tank gunner specialist, she's enlisted in the Astra Militarium on the planet Cadia, a fortress world catered to protection from the Eye of Terror—a massive, chaotic warp rift that spews bile and vile from the depths of the universe akin to a grease trap. At some point in Quinn's service, she disobeyed a direct order from her commanding officer, leaving her to be conscripted as a "reject;" ne’er-do-well scum meant to redeem themselves in the eye of the Imperium on Tertium, a hive city taken over by the traitorous regiment Moebian 6.

📓 Miscellaneous ✏️

These pieces don't involve my biggest characters. They may be side characters, stuff I've done for friends, or maybe challenges I gave myself to improve upon my rigid standard of graphic design... woe, perfectionism be upon ye.
