The Shepherd and his dog.
Personal work.

#gameart #characterdesign #conceptart #digitalpainting #realisticart #fantasyart #illustration #artistsonbluesky #ocs #originalcharacter

Digital painting of a young shepherd standing in a snowy landscape. He has light brown hair and wears a wool cloak, tunic, and leather boots suitable for cold weather. A leather pouch and a small knife hang from his belt. A fluffy black and white sheepdog sits quietly beside him. The background is white and misty. Signed "RA JONGIN" in the bottom corner.

I dabble in a few things, from characters to environments, 3D, motion and animation (would love to get into UI/UX) and some other things - if you want to know more, feel free to reach out - I most likely have some relevant work deep in older folders/not on my portfolio, but I have experience!

recent sketchbook scan exploring an underwater kingdom, who would you find here, from creatures, to structures and flora #sketchbook #illustration

Personal project share time!

Concept and visual target for Link.

Link is heavily inspired by Geralt from The Witcher. I wanted him to be a battle-hardened veteran.

Personal project time!

Concept for the Deku Tree.

Rather than having him be a large tree, I loved the idea that he is a shepherd of Kokiri and wanders the woods.
