I have always loved fantasy stories and game such as Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and Pokémon. Often series like these hardly catered to people of color, especially those with darker skin cimplextions. People of color have fantasies of our own. We want to be the hero, we want to be the mage, we can be innocent and we are powerful. I make art because people like me deserve a fantasy of our own.
Living Light: an action RPG game about your classic light versus dark story but with a very complex plot centering on warriors know as Torch Bearers and the realms of a subconscious reality. I took inspiration from that of Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy as well other franchises like Xenoblade.
2019 Day's 1 design: I created in college. He initially had a large coat and cool demenor. I was inspired by another artist and began to work on my own story.
I always loved games like kingdom hearts and final fantasy, especially the character designs. I always wondered however why dont any of the chracters look like me or even try? So Day was born from my idea to create a fantasy game that involved people with different hair textures to give us a chance of our own fantasy.
Day's design changed dramatically over the few years that I have had him. From wearing a big overcoat sporting braids to being an island child with out any real reagrd for how he looked. Eventually as my story for the game developed he would soon done clothing that catered to his story and the world of "Living Light."
Paramon, a turn-based RPG takes great inspiration from your classic pocket monster games as they were a big part of my own childhood. It features a region based on Chicago and which culturlaly influences the characters. Below are the some of the main characters Geo and Aria and some of the side cast. A separate section will be dedicated for the creatures made for this game.
