INNER DEMON
Inner Demon - A technical self portrait
My biggest and most complex portfolio project for TGA. I wanted to make a piece showcasing as many of my core skills as possible, while also delving into a personal, vulnerable territory - mental health.
This piece features two stylised "twin" characters with different outfits and textures, reflecting the inner shadow or "demon" of the mind, versus the real, physical self. Both characters also have different post-process shaders to reflect the different beings between mind and matter.
