Hi, I’m Marina Mukhanova, a versatile 2D Generalist and Illustrator with 4+ years of professional experience in high-volume commercial production. I specialize in full-render character illustration, casual styles and semi-realistic renderings, and I excel at expressive, high-detail facial rendering under tight deadlines. I’ve helped lead a new visual style direction within a 10-person internal team, and the developed style was chosen as the best concept for a project direction. I’m passionate about style development and visual direction—my work has driven new concepts and branding for multiple projects. I’m open to remote work or relocation within the EU and I’m eager to contribute to a growing team’s 2D art, with a clear path toward a Senior 2D Artist role.
