2011 Senior Project, "Perrin". Finished several months ago, it was quite rushed towards the end to meet the deadlines, and while I can still see most things that aren't great or downright bad visual choices, I'm removed enough in time to post! Haha, so self critical!
Each painting is 20x30", begun with oils on illustration board, then scanned and photomerged in PS and finished in Photoshop as well.

Ico is a game for the PlayStation 2, your art piece is more like an unintentional tribute. the games focus is on the mood/ambient environment. Which your art style is quite similar to. The story is about this little boy born with bull horns (which is considered cursed) and dumped into an ancient castle where he's left to be sacrificed. He escapes his prison/coffin and finds a little girl trapped in a cage, she looks sort of like a ghost; an ethereal glowing aura about her. Freeing her they struggle to escape the castle together while being chased by deformed shadows (most likely previously sacrificed children). Turns out she's able to magically open locked doors that he'd never be able to otherwise. Since they don't speak each others language, the game is all about body language. It's a beautifully done game more like puzzle adventure with a pinch of hack n slash as you have to leave the girl from time to time to figure a way for her to get across areas that only you can scale, which leaves her open to attack by the shadows. but her mad survival skills buy you time to get back to her and save her.
The company made a follow up game called Shadow of the colossus. Same mood/ambient theme, but its a story of Lost love and doing the forbidden to bring them back to life. It's a very sad, romantic story for not having almost no talking the entire game.
Last year they where supposed to come out with their final game The last guardian but they pushed it back a year so maybe in nov of this year it will come out. All their stories rotate around relationships of some kind. Little kid finds this winged dog monster and you build relation by feeding and getting it to follow you though this castle etc...Man I want to play it so bad. Check it out sooo cool. They even did an HD release of the first 2 games on one game!
