Part of my series of abstracts based on in-game screengrabs. Each piece has the title of the game it’s based on. This piece is ripped from a zombie apocalpyse action horror sequel. I'm interested in exploring the visceral attraction of game technology. I spent many hours losing myself in games and these worlds and characters still fascinate. The image starts as a screengrab. I ‘atomise’ it, filtering the image down to various coloured dots. I extrude the dots into a 3rd dimension using a light distribution mesh. Then layer multiple extrusions over each other. The original game shot is used as background and the ‘atoms’ in the foreground. Finally I run it through an AI, giving a painterly warp to details. Dimensions: 4000 × 6000

Description

A series of abstracts based on in-game screengrabs. Each piece has the title of the game it’s based on. A lot of anti-NFT sentiment has been coming from gamers, so I wanted to use games as raw material for my cryptoart. I was also interested in exploring the visceral attraction of game technology. I spent many hours obliterating myself in games and these worlds still fascinate.
