Drawing

Brit is someone who thrives on world-building and the creation of characters within those worlds. It is important to them as an artist to keep one’s imagination wide open to the never-ending possibilities that could come from the deepest reaches of the mind. They love playing with the whimsical, the fantastical, the emotional, and the magical. Storytelling is an imperative aspect of accomplishing this, which is done with imagery and less so with words. From acrylic to watercolour, to graphite to digital painting, Brit believes that their work reflects the flexible and ever-flowing nature that ebbs and flows with their whims and desires versus what is expected of them as an artist, allowing for the freedom to make as they feel.

Gris #1 A scene beginning with the main character who finds themselves alone amongst an empty, hilly environment. Where are they to go?
Gris #2 We find our main character encountering a new friend, someone who will guide her along in this mysterious journey. Yet there is a force lurking from the side, observing. Waiting.
Gris #3 Together, the main character and her friend confront the dark creature, supported by the environment in which they find themselves in.

Style Emulation: GRIS

For a project, we were to pick a side-scrolling video game, create a new ending for it, all while emulating the style. I chose Gris for this assignment, and I still am fond of it to this day.
