KOREA ARTIST
CELDER [김진형] (Jin hyung KIM), Lead Artist, Game developer, and Web3 Art Creator.
I have been working as a game concept artist for 17 years since 2005, specializing in character and environmental design. My main area of expertise is character design, and my experience primarily involves creating medieval fantasy concept art, such as plate armor, character design, environment design, and creature design. I have a particular strength in expressing the charm of sketches, capturing dynamic details and emotions that breathe life into my work. I also have a passion for painting latex and metal armor, as well as bringing female characters to life.
In 2022, I transitioned into the Web3 space, expanding my artistic horizons by exploring blockchain technology, NFTs, and decentralized platforms. My focus is on creating immersive digital artworks that bridge traditional art and blockchain innovation, enabling collectors and audiences to experience art in entirely new ways.
My ultimate goal is to create an artworld that embodies my unique artistic vision and personal philosophy, while also resonating with the viewers on a deeper, emotional level. I want to create a world that people can immerse themselves in and explore its depth and intricacy.
I believe that great art requires a gradual process of discovery and exploration. Drawing is a significant source of life satisfaction for me on my journey of freedom and exploration. In this new era of Web3, I aim to contribute to building decentralized art ecosystems where creativity knows no boundaries.
