ABOUT

My name is Jasper Patena, and I am a digital artist. My art can range from dark pieces with mild blood and gore, to more stylized and bright pieces. They reflect my love for the diverse range of colors, and how certain colors of a composition can convey emotion or evoke feelings. My main focus is character art and design. Character detail and design are the most versatile genres to work on, and they can be inspired by anything. I like challenging myself with different color combinations and palettes, and I tend to lean more towards warm and dark colors. Digital art may be convenient, but there are some struggles that come along with it. Technology can be very iffy at times, which causes me to lose progress on pieces, or a piece entirely. Sometimes a file can get corrupted, which brings a heavy risk to my PC altogether. Besides these risks, I still pursue art in this form, as it’s the most comfortable medium for me. I have worked with traditional mediums, but I gravitated more to the digital art style. There’s so much freedom with color and composition, and many modalities in which artists can develop their work. With digital art, I wish to bring to life a world of my own, with my own characters and story in this art form. It could be either a video game or a comic. For example, I wish to turn my art into a RPG video game with emphasis on storytelling, or create my own visual story revolving around fantasy genres. The characters will be handcrafted by me, each playing an essential role in the stories. I want my work to be enjoyed and shared with all who have similar interests, as I was influenced to create by the same people and interests.
