The Other, experimenting with portraiing my personal other

This is the second phase in The Other assignment: experimenting on how to portray my personal other in an interesting way without using the obvious illustrations. Mine is the videogame: it's like a drug for me and i'm trying to visualize the temptation/seduction of it. The image posted here is my first try. It represents a beautifull floating grass island you can find in many rpg's, but it's very superficial. Hence the hollow framework beneath it.

For me a RPG-world is a way to forget realworld issues, but also makes me think about them in a different way. I used to have a deep urge/wish to be in a rpg-videogame world, to be able to use magic or start an adventure with a group of people. Most people will say i'm crazy.

When i started this propedeuse at the AKV i found it very difficult to combine the two worlds of art and videogame. But the first period of Beeld en Concept made me realise that i can use the videogame as a motive to make art. I, however, thought that it wasn't sufficient enough. but the teacher told me otherwise. Thankfully.
