Choomcherd Virapat, an artist based in Thailand with a background in architecture, has created the medieval fantasy world of Phaya Akat. This project reflects his Thai heritage while pushing boundaries in concept art, digital art and visual development.

The Sanctuary is a peaceful mountain village built around a hot spring where people gather to cook, eat, and rest, offering a calm refuge for heroes. The Palace of Mara is an underground stronghold now ruined and overgrown with vines, inspired by ancient Thai and Cambodian architecture.

The kitchen at the heart of the village is built around a natural hot spring, blending ritual, community, and daily life in preparation for food. Khun Thong’s warship is a flying vessel that serves as both battle vessel and refuge carrier, representing the heart of Phaya Akat and inspired by traditional Thai culture.

Tools like Photoshop, Blender, ZBrush, and Plasticity are essential to Choomcherd's work. For your own artistic endeavors, explore our guides on the best digital art software and drawing tablets.
