Hyung-Tae Kim Shares his Thoughts on the Catalyst for Stellar Blade
For every creation, there is an inspiration or a muse that gets the artist’s mind buzzing. For Kim, it was the desire to create a world in a certain likeness and style. It was this desire that gave rise to the artwork dubbed ‘EVE Twins’. Released back in 2013, that was the inciting moment that set Kim down the path to createStellar Blade.

The artwork itself is in his classic style, with particular consideration for the form of the twins. Even a cursory glance at them is enough to spot the similarities to the design of Eve fromStellar Blade. One wields a pair of blades and the other two guns, and their outfits are right in line with what we are going to see in the upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive.

The city behind them is a fusion of classic and futuristic architecture. On either side, we see buildings that fit into an urban aesthetic. But, in the center of the image and off in the distance, we see what appears to be a cathedral, complete with pillars and a winged statue at the top.

Gaming was one of my earliest passions then along came writing, and here we are. I’ve been in the content creation space for several years now and as gamer for even longer.
