Adventures Untold

A fun and culturally diverse series of artwork which is geared towards the games industry to promote inclusivity in the workforce and its audience. The more varied a team is in terms of its people (gender, age, ethnicity, religion, etc), the more potential is has to produce innovative and creative outcomes.

Set on a slice of a fantasy world to give the character some story and concept, the pieces incorporate current 3D character pipelines in video games production to create fun, colourful and stylish dioramas with atmospheric lighting, all presented in a games engine.

Adventures Untold

Colourful 3D digital dioramas revolving around a main character. The series combines the fantasy genre and underrepresented minority groups to embrace more inclusivity on the platform.

Motivation

A personal love of fantasy and a desire to create socially conscious work of current industry issues to help make the platform more inclusive and progressive. A lot of games which I grew up with have been remade recently (feeling old hurts) which launched me into a nostalgia trip. I wanted to pay homage to games like Spyro, Pokémon and other stylish gems I hope a lot of us remember fondly.
