Designing Silent Hill cost its original art director his love life_ 'I never had any girlfriends, co

Published on January 01, 0001

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. [[link]] 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 [[link]] 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."

While all of this work has clearly paid off—Ito has no shortage of fans—there are some drawbacks. "As a side note, all the time I was attending my art university or was developing Silent Hill 1, 2, [[link]] 3, and a cancelled title, I never had any girlfriends," Ito says. "Coz I had no time for it. I never thought I was a genius, but I was terribly competitive. The only way to beat geniuses is to give yourself up entirely to what you wanna accomplish."
