I wanted to illustrate one of my favorite characters, Diego Brando, from the manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I aimed for a "splash art" feel but struggled with texturing and the background. To address this, I included background elements for practice and personal growth, but limiting the amount to keep the overall composition manageable.
Illustrated using Procreate -- JJBA written by Hirohiko ArakiAs a fan of horror games and the genre overall, I knew I had to include something along those lines in my portfolio. Unsure of what to draw, I took inspiration from games and movies I love. I focused on composition and lighting to invoke the feeling of hopelessness found in in my favorite zombie games, while designing the monster and adding details to capture the "science experiment gone wrong" feeling.
