ABOUT

Checkpoint is a Gaming Lounge project that hopes to open in Cardiff in the near future. They decided to gather funding together through an ambitious Kickstarter campaign, and approached me to produce some concept art to help backers get a better idea of what they envisioned for the look and feel of the lounge.

Founders Ben and Paul wanted the look of a 'rustic pub' combined with a sleek and modern lounge that was comfortable, stylish, and all-ages friendly. The materials on their mood board featured lots of wood stain and rusted metal, so I decided parchment paper would be the ideal medium to create the drawings on. I used pencil, watercolour, and ink, sticking to a restricted palette of browns, whites, and yellows to accurately reflect their vision.
