James Van der Walt

My dream job would be someone who designs characters, assets and environments for a stylistic horror game.

When I found the Little Nightmares franchise; in it you can find concept art snippets throughout the game and made me realize that this (concept art) is something I want to do at a professional level. Also in The Last of Us games, the environmental storytelling really inspired me to push myself from just drawing pretty characters to drawing gritty environments, telling assets and non conforming character designs.
