I’m Eucafox, a digital and virtual artist from Australia.
For many years my art has had a strong focus on 2D character illustration and landscape painting. In 2020 I graduated from University; studying concept art and games design in the hopes that I might venture into the world of making narrative based games and visual novels. In 2019 I strapped on a VR headset and have since begun a new creative journey.
Virtual reality quickly became a huge part of my life and began to reshape my approach to artistic expression. I started learning programs including Unity, Blender, Vermillion, and Open Brush. In the past year I have been exploring ways to express and reflect some of the immersive experiences I have had online and in virtual spaces.
Through the use of overlays and various digital programs, I've been able to paint immersive worlds while using a virtual canvas. In what can only be described as painting a memory of a dream, I hope to convey this experience with art that feels like it is shifting and existing between multiple realities.
Combining my art with prose, photography, music, and videography, I would like to further explore the immersive power of virtual experiences. I also intend to explore themes of identity and connection in virtual spaces based on some of the experiences I have had in VRChat and during my time as a Vtuber on Twitch.
