Knights have always been my signature from the early 2000's particularly 2010-2011. 2013-2016 I started building real swords and armor from steel. 2017 I started making spray paint space art. 2019 I began getting into the digital field. Doing still life historical scenes really makes me happy and It I rewarding in many ways, It's hard to really say a favorite for beyond what was stated each have served a purpose but all have served to fulfill me emotionally, spiritually and that to serve others.
Where do you find inspiration?For Knights It all stems from Chris Metzen Warcraft 2 game manual, In 2011, the evolution of my Knights really comes from learning his style In that manual. Before 2011 playing games with my dad like Warcraft, Diablo, Dungeon Siege, Oblivion, Age of Empires really set the foundation. Outside of that I learn by really just seeing everything with art lense, doing stuff I've never tried before. The Hobbit 2012 inspired me to draw portraits of people and making peoples lives better makes me happy.
