Religion
During my childhood, I would attend church every weekend. At the time I felt inclined to as my parents and their families were all religious, however eventually I decided for my self to become agnostic. This was a big decision for me and through that process I learnt a lot about different religions and their beliefs. This is a major influence on my design as I developed an interest in the depiction of religious topics such as ancient gods and mythos.

Video Games pt. 1
One of my main interests/hobbies are video games. One of the first video games I played was Halo 3. In simple terms your a super soldier in the future who goes across the galaxy fighting aliens. I have many fond experiences of playing Halo 3 with my brother and I believe this game also started my interest in the sci-fi genre and the idea of exploring the unknown.
Video Games pt. 2
One of my favourite franchise of games is the souls franchise, the first of which I played was Dark Souls 3. Dark Souls is set in the fictional kingdom of Lordan, where you play as a cursed undead character who embarks on a journey to discover the fate of their kind. the setting of Dark Souls is most akin to a medieval theme however it has a dark twist. The themes introduced and the way they created such an extensive universe full of lore, are what made me fall in love with the game.

Animations/Cartoons
Throughout my life I have always enjoyed animation. This started from when I was young watching channels like Cartoon Network, Nicktoons, CITV, etc., and carried on into my later life where I would now watch anime and Adult Swim as well as shorts created by individuals on YouTube. All these sources have influenced me as they would make up what I enjoy in current media.
