Shinto Corruption
Hello everyone! I’m Riccardo Carozzi, an environment artist from Turin, Italy. This is my final project while enrolled in Think Tank Training Centre Online. It has been the most challenging and fulfilling 16 months of my life, and I can’t wait to study even more to become the artist I always dreamed of being.
Shinto Corruption
SHINTO CORRUPTION:
Mentorship project
"Shinto Corruption" is the result of my last four months at Think Tank Training Centre Online. The goal of this project was to dive fully into stylized art and to understand it at the best of my capabilities.
I always found irritating how stylized art is seen primarily as a way to express coziness and peace, and I wanted to change that.
Choosing the incredible concept of Hayapi brought a lot of challenges, an environment so precise and full of assets was something I never tackled and made me learn a lot about a wide range of skills, from sculpting (which was completely new to me) to modularity focused assets.

When I started this project four months ago I was in the middle of reading "Chainsaw Man", the manga from Tatsuki Fujimoto and when I saw the concept I immediately thought they would pair hand in hand. I could imagine clearly in my mind a player going up the stairs, with very little resources left from their journey, only to be greeted by the ominous door from the manga (and for anyone who read it.. you know how scary what's behind it is). That's why I decided to merge the two concepts and fill the mistery of where the red light is coming from.
