Leon has been able to gain new heights with his illustrative techniques during the process of working on his Bachelors. While working on his book, he was able to, and forced to use all of his acquired skills. Throughout the entire project, Leon sought out inspiration from the artists he looked up to like Pete Mohrbacher and Ruan Jia. But also from video games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, whose style has also heavily influenced his own.
Annihilation
Demons of Gaelya
What is your project about?
My work revolves around 13 demons that i have created, each of which is a manifestation of a circumstance, that could lead to the annihilation of the human race. These demons are part of my fantasy world, which i have been working on the last 3 years.
What in particular has inspired you to do this project?
The deep stories and mysterious worlds of my favorite media that I have watched and read, have inspired me to want to create something similar. I was deeply inspired by the video game franchise Dark Souls as well as Bloodborne, but also the cult classic anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. Each of them are famous for their abstract creatures and truly incredible world building, which are visually and storywise unique.
How could it proceed with this project?
My goal is to publish the book. It shall also turn into a series, where with each new book, I’ll explore different concepts visually with my illustrations.
