Believable worlds

I get my inspiration from a lot of different sources! I have a huge thing for beautiful color combinations, which is why I love traveling! When experiencing different cultures, people and places it’s really hard to overlook the contrast to what we’re used to seeing every day. Countries in the north come with colder, less saturated color combinations compared to the vibrant and colorful schemes in countries close to the equator. When traveling, I really like to experience the daily life of locals.

Seeing the world with their eyes, understanding their needs and attitude towards life. I always catch myself on how I eyeball people and try to figure out the similarities and characteristics, so I can adapt these features into my character designs. This is such an important part when designing original characters and believable worlds. I wrote a blog-post on how my Maldives trip inspired my art.

I try to soak up inspiration from literally everything! Even a little walk in nature can give me pure inspiration and ideas - for instance, when watching the beautifully red colored woods in fall with their imperfect, yet interesting and unique shapes. Sometimes I would find beautiful color combinations in a magazine, and sometimes I see a beautiful pattern on a flower pot. All these little things influence my work, inspire me and are shaping my individual style.
