Creative Challenge

Inktober 2026

31 prompts. Two styles. One creative challenge.

For Inktober 2026, I challenged myself to interpret each daily prompt in two different visual styles: a traditional black-and-white illustration and a small pixel-art piece.

The challenge explores how the same idea can be translated between two very different visual languages, while the pixel-art versions are created within a maximum canvas size of 64×64 pixels.

Bachelor Thesis

Trash Talk vs. Sexism in Competitive Gaming

My bachelor thesis explores where young players draw the line between typical trash talk and sexist behaviour in the voice chat of competitive online games.

Research

Bachelor of Arts in Game Design

Player Perception & Voice Chat

IU International University of Applied Sciences

Using scenario-based research, I examined how language, context and social dynamics influence whether statements in competitive gaming voice chat are perceived as trash talk or sexist behaviour.

Research Focus

Game Studies

Topics

Online Communication & Player Experience

The thesis focuses on competitive multiplayer games, voice-chat culture, toxicity, sexism, social context and how players evaluate the boundary between accepted trash talk and discriminatory behaviour.
