Summary
Dark Semi-Realism & Character Illustrator | Ex-AAA Art Owner
Hi! I am a professional 2D Artist and Illustrator with over 6 years of experience in the AAA gaming industry(Wargaming/Lesta), where I worked as a Senior Artist, Supervisor, and Art Owner for major project updates.
Currently, I am shifting my focus toward commercial illustration and expanding my path as an independent digital artist. I specialize in dark semi-realism, detailed portraiture, and poster design, focusing on character depth and solid anatomy. While I draw inspiration from rock and metal culture aesthetics, I am highly adaptable and always open to various themes and genres.
