MINECRAFT X ART HISTORY

I had an incredibly fun time working on this project, which allowed me to experiment by mixing two very different art forms: Minecraft and masterpieces from art history. I created a series of illustrations for the community of Cydonia_Chiara, one of the biggest Italian Twitch streamers and influencers in the videogame field, as part of his series of Twitch livestreams dedicated to his Minecraft playthrough.

Cydonia turned this series into a major project for his channel, developing a role-play story supported by a web platform where the fan community created special quests and a wide range of fan art, including songs, illustrations, and music videos. My contribution was to illustrate some of the Minecraft NPC characters from his role-play story, reinventing some of the most iconic works of art such as “The Scream” and “Girl with a Pearl Earring”.

"The Librarian with the pearl earring"

"The Weaponsmith x Klimt"

"Vitruvian Enderman"

"TNT's Scream"

"The Leatherworker x Magritte"

"The Farmer X Frida"

"The Villagers Kiss"

MINECRAFT: "L'ULTIMA VERITA'"

The entire project reached its grand finale with an animated short film that the streamer commissioned as a paid collaboration with a team of eight artists, including myself, to commemorate and conclude the story as the final cutscene. The project involved eight artists and four music and sound editors, along with Cydonia’s original voice acting. I worked on the flat colouring for the film and designed the “The End” background.
