Masahiro Ito is the legendary artist who worked on the original Silent Hill 1, 2, and 3 as art director—designing monsters in some of the most visually striking horror games of all time. But success comes at a price.
During a little Q&A, Ito discussed his busy schedule back in the day, when he was majoring in graphic design, studying oil painting on the side, and learning 3D modeling and animation alongside developing the first Silent Hill. "However, I could [model]/build all of the creatures and all of the animations of them from Silent Hill 2," Ito says. "I also thought of all of the plans of Pyramid Head's cutscenes and built them by myself. Practice makes perfect."
