My Work

Environment art created by taniko tapine, of a meadow, big mountains covered in snow at the very back, lush green grass with big and small rocks sitting atop the grassy hill, a green river sits under a bridge in which a monster hides under, waiting for three unsuspecting goats to cross the monsters bridge. The artstyle for this piece is inspired by studio ghibli, a very vibrant, painting with realism and an anime touch to it
Environment art by Taniko Tapine, of a forest, deep green grass covers the ground with the muddy ground, dark brown trees looming over everything. Some trees have fallen, some still standing strong with vibrant green. The artstyle for this art piece leans towards a more realistic, anime vibe.
