Michael Harden
Character Concept Artist
Well hello there
I'm just going to keep this one brief and simple. Hello, my name is Michael Harden, and I love to design and create interesting characters. I have always dreamed of working for a game studio or just taking part in the process of creating a game ever since I found out that it could be a career. I am currently working on my own game and self-learning pixel art. Want to know more about me go ahead and scroll down.
About me
I am a concept artist, and I love to create characters! I think character design is the most important aspect of any story in games, films, and movies. Without an interesting character, the rest of it just falls flat. I enjoy strategy and turn-based games simply because I enjoy taking my time and figuring out a strategy for most scenarios I'm put in. I think with those kinds of games, you can take your time to study and get to know the game's characters; it's a chance to learn about them and their abilities. Some of my favorite titles are Persona 5, Unicorn Overlord, Middle-earth: Shadow of War, and FFXIV. I also enjoy medieval-themed concepts. I think it's the most interesting theme to explore because of the vast amount of creativity you can have with it, and if you add fantasy to the mix as well, then the range of creativity you can have is endless. Nothing is impossible with those two themes put together! A huge fan of reptiles, I have an eyelash-crested gecko, and he is just a strange character, but I love him. That's a little bit about me. Please reach out to me if you're interested to learn more.
