I am Ralph Burgers, I am a young game artist studying at the HKU.
I make art that evokes a certain very specific feeling. I find that games as a medium work particularly well for this as they provide a world to get fully absorbed in. My ultimate goal is that through my games people will feel things they otherwise wouldn't ever come into contact with.
I also really like doing tech art! It combines my love for technology with my love of learning. I particularly like doing deep dives into really specific niche subjects (like how to make a really specific shader) and then making sure I fully understand how it works.
For my process I always go through this cycle. Every time I hit a dead end in a project I go through this cycle again. And it works wonderfully for me.
Chaos - collect materials that appeal to me
Order - find out what appeals to me, learn how it works
In conclusion: I work best when I am working on a game that evokes a specific feeling where I am allowed to nerd out about some technology. And where I can use go through my cycles of chaos and order.
