The world of Nekins is something I hold dear to my heart. They are my very own creation I have nurtured and cultivated since High School, and have their own lore and lands that go into depth on their culture and everyday life.
I have always been fascinated by tiny things, especially in nature. Nekins are an incarnation of that fascination, and my passion for creation.
Motifs that often come back when designing Nekins are fishing, foods and cooking, exploration and foraging.
These little creatures are varied in design, much like my own ideas are varied in genre and subject. They are my ideal, in a way. Peaceful and close to nature, living together in a comfortable little world that spans from beach to peak. A touch of magic makes the world go round.
As much as I enjoy sharing these creations with others, I find myself sometimes unable to articulate or truly visualise what I want. This leads to me having many unfinished sketches sitting on the back burner. However, I sometimes return to those sketches and finish them, using the extra time to think and experiment until I am able to figure out what I want my projects to look like.
