Who are you?

I'm José Victor, 21 years old and JosephSeraph is my web name! Since I was a very small kid, I've always expressed myself through art, and I've also always loved to tell stories. Gaming has since been an integral part of my life; I owe my English language skills and my 2 years of experience as an English teacher to RPGs!

And what do you do?

I am an artist and game developer. Currently I am working as a freelancer Asset Artist, while creating my own games and comics in the meanwhile, all while creating and publicly releasing free art resources.
I want to keep on making games, both commercial and free, and my goal is to be able to live fully off of my games and assets.
My aspirations as a game designer and artist range from a deeply narrative wish to tell a story, the desire to bring fun and exciting challenges and breathe life in the wondrous worlds inside our heads and hearts.
Direct influences to my work range from the Final Fantasy series to Studio Ghibli and Makoto Shinkai movies, going through Survival Horror, Junji Ito manga, the SaGa franchise and a variety of different artists!

Why do you need Patreon?

Simply put, in order to help me creating content!
Creating games, assets and comics all takes its time. I have to be very smart with my use of time, and be constantly on the hunt for potential clients.
By becoming my patron you allow me to allocate time I'd be unproductively hunting for freelance work into creating my art!

What will you do with the money?

Living costs.Primarily I will use it to help cover daily living and art costs, such as electricity, art program licenses, etc. By having this income from patreon and people that support/enjoy my work I'm allowed to worry a bit less about hunting for freelance work, and just be productive!

Creative Investments.Secondarily, funds will be allocated for investments on my games. That means hiring programmers, musicians, extra artists, all depending a case by case basis.

Education. Tertiarily, funds will be invested in my education. That means taking the eventual oil painting lessons, watercolor workshops, etc, and you'll see it all reflected on my art!

Why should I support you?

If you'd like to see my honest and personal take on JRPGs!
If you like spontaneous, personal art with nothing to hide!
If you create games and want to support a free asset artist!
If you're an artist and would enjoy my tutorials and tips!

Thank you for reading until here!
I hope y'all enjoy my art! Please if you have any questions or anything to say at all, don't hesitate to message me! ^v^)/
