Nico is Gone
Personal concept art project about a boy searching for his missing dog in the park at night, discovering a few friends along the way.
I wanted to experiment creating a little "urban adventure" of sorts, and to work on a few props, turnarounds and character interactions throughout the project.
Hope you guys like it!
