Most people don't know this, but I'd actually started planning Twilight Monk in 2000. I didn't know how to paint, or how to write compelling stories or anything. But my philosophy was always to just throw myself at something with as much passion as I could muster and the results would shape themselves into something great. Years later, the characters came to life a lot more, and now its a full on webcomic and video game! Well... its GOING to be a video game. Anyway I still like the layout of this image. Maybe I should repaint it.Trent Kaniugahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11277701819449983977noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14420957615596212.post-15405039285055550482012-08-16T16:44:00.000-07:002012-08-16T16:44:00.180-07:00Broken Spirits armor concept from 2000<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Before Wind Waker, we really hadn't seen an extremely stylized Zelda. So back then I really wanted to work in video games and the best way to do that, I thought was to do fan art. Turns out I was right. I landed a gig at an indie studio soon after and then went to Capcom a couple of years later.Trent Kaniugahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11277701819449983977noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14420957615596212.post-81246610773935426702012-08-13T16:22:00.000-07:002012-08-13T16:22:00.801-07:00Some of my first Photoshop work<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
