Leonardo Borazio is a self-taught concept illustrator in Italy who has worked with film studios and AAA game developers. He finds inspiration in traditional landscape painting to create digital art that emphasises mood and suggestion, using tools like Photoshop<\/a>, ZBrush<\/a> and Blender (see our guides to the best digital art software<\/a> and the best 3D modelling software<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Below, Leonardo shares with us three examples of his work. You can find more inspiration in our other features on digital artists.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAgainst a desolate horizon of celestial debris, the skeletal remains of a fallen giant await. A lone hero navigates the meteor-strewn expanse, ready to unravel the history hidden within the ship\u2019s silent, metallic tomb.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ambush<\/p>\n

\u201cA personal tribute to the haunting world of Lies of P. In this piece, I wanted to explore my fascination with the Black Rabbit Brotherhood, focusing on the tension and grim camaraderie that defines their presence in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sunken City<\/p>\n

\u201cThe mythic ruins of a civilisation long past, this ghost-city pulses with an enigmatic energy, inviting the brave to peel back the layers of its dark, hidden history.\u201d<\/p>\n
