Illustrator and designer trained in realistic drawing, portraiture, and character design, specializing in dark, narrative-driven atmospheres for fantasy and sci-fi. I focus on graphite and charcoal for hyperreal portrait work (plus ink line-art), and I build characters through strong silhouette and wardrobe storytelling. I’m currently developing my pulpy hyperrealistic color direction, leaning more toward watercolor and mixed-media illustration in my present workflow. I’m happy to prepare a style-matching sample piece before confirming a full project so you can evaluate fit with confidence.…Illustrator and designer trained in realistic drawing, portraiture, and character design, specializing in dark, narrative-driven atmospheres for fantasy and sci-fi.
