Órla Fitzsimons
BA Games Art and Design
I am a concept artist and illustrator with a love for fantasy and folklore, passionate about exploring imaginative concepts and worlds. The work showcased is from my final major project where I created a short comic to go alongside my world-building project: Ciantír.
This project was driven by a love for Irish and Celtic mythology, and a desire to create something that felt unique and important to me through exploring my own Irish heritage. Throughout this project, I was able to challenge myself as an artist and showcase a wide range of skills that will be essential to my career going forward.
My degree at Norwich University of the Arts has not only developed my technical skills but has also encouraged me to be more confident in my creative practices. The lessons I have learned are things I will take forward into all my future endeavours as I continue to pursue my career as an artist.
