Laurmodels

Laurmodels is a fictional universe and collection of characters created by the independent game developer and artist Laurens van der Stel, commonly known as Laurens. The project began as a passion-driven initiative to explore unique character designs, narrative concepts, and stylized storytelling, blending elements of fantasy, horror, and surrealism. Laurens’ work is notable for its intricate illustrations, detailed world-building, and emphasis on emotional depth, often drawing inspiration from folklore, mythology, and psychological themes.

The core of Laurmodels revolves around a series of interconnected characters, each with distinct personalities, backstories, and visual aesthetics. These characters frequently appear in short stories, comics, and digital artworks that expand the lore of their shared universe. The project has gained a following for its imaginative storytelling and Laurens’ ability to convey complex narratives through visual mediums. While Laurmodels does not include traditional video games, its influence extends to fan art, cosplay, and community-driven expansions, with many creators contributing to the expansion of its mythos.

Laurens’ approach to Laurmodels is collaborative, with fans and collaborators often engaging in discussions, fan fiction, and creative projects that further develop the characters and their worlds. The project remains active on platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and Patreon, where Laurens shares updates, new artwork, and behind-the-scenes insights. Laurmodels serves as both a creative outlet for Laurens and a vibrant community space for enthusiasts to explore and interpret its rich, evolving narrative.
