About The Sacred City Ilustrace

Kniha Text: Posvátné město je digitální ilustrace vytvořená jako klíčový vizuál pro fantasy videohru. Umělecké dílo zobrazuje legendu zvanou Věštci, která se odehrává jednou za několik století. V tento den se králové všech zemí shromažďují u katedrály vedle vodopádů a čekají na příchod poslů. Mnoho diváků cestuje z dalekých krajin v naději, že získají požehnání od bohů. Scéna byla ručně nakreslena pomocí digitálního softwaru metodou photo bashingu. Románská a gotická architektura byly spojeny, aby vymyšlenému světu dodaly pocit reálnosti.

Unique Properties: This scene is from a high fantasy video game. One of the lands in this world has a legend that occurs once every several centuries, which is called The Oracles. On this day the kings of each of the lands gather together at the cathedral next to the waterfalls and wait for the advent of the messenger. Many spectators come from around the world, making the long journey, aiming to arrive at the city by the time the messengers come, hoping to receive blessings from the Gods. As this is an ongoing project, there is continuous experiments with the visual representation of these complex worlds.

Production Technology: This work was created using ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 2020. Hand drawing is used based on PHOTO BASHING.
Design Challenge: Even for illustrations, it is important to research architectural styles and old customs. By following that process, it becomes possible to give reality to the world view of illustrations and create an immersive feeling.In order for people to embrace the "unreal world of　illustration", "reality" as an entrance is necessary.
Research: It is to embody illustration and visual design as entertainment.
In many cases, there is a client's request, but it is important to "visually embody" the language or sentence.I consider my role to be a "visual translator".Using consideration, research, and image power, we visualize a complex world that no one has ever seen as a "picture" that can be understood by everyone.
Inspiration: When I visited St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, I was overwhelmed by its magnificent presence. It motivated me to try and depict such a majestic environment, a symbolic sacred place where everybody can worship it as their sanctuary. In order to create this artwork, I referred to the grandeur of both Romanesque and Gothic architecture styles, fusing them to make a unique world.
Project Duration: Created during the one-month period of May 2020.
At a studio in Tokyo, Japan.
Operation Flow: Key visuals for video games that may be realized in the future.
By sharing your own visual image with people, you will gain insight into what video game users want and sympathize with, and think concretely about your approach to realization.
