I’m Mustapha Basit, a 2D Artist and Illustrator based in Akure, Nigeria. I focus on character design and polished digital artwork, especially furry/anthro character art, character reference sheets and turnarounds, VRChat artwork and textures, pixel art, game assets, and comic-style illustration.
From rough concepts, client briefs, or references, I build consistent visuals that match the style and requirements of each project. I’ve spent 5+ years freelancing across personal and commercial work, collaborating directly with clients through revisions and final delivery, so the end result is both creatively strong and production-ready.
