Games have a played a big part in developing my imagination from a very young age. From side scrolling classics such as Sonic, Mario, and Streets of Rage to point and click adventures such as Monkey Island, Broken Sword and Discworld... Whether it be the story, character design or the worlds that these games are set in, I cannot help but think these have played a huge part in inspiring my drawing today. Some people read a book to escape, but I'll play a game. It's quick, takes my mind off whatever's unnecessarily on my mind, and generally does the job. I went through a bit of a stage of playing walking simulators, which are games you could wander around in with no fear of dying, with all the focus being on the story. Recently, especially during the pandemic of 2020, I've been more drawn to survival games... how ironic.
