About

Hi, I’m Robert Kostadinov. I’m a versatile freelance artist based between Bulgaria and Chicago, with a focus on illustration, animation, and visual design. I have a strong foundation in anatomy, perspective, and color theory, and I’m proficient with the Adobe Creative Suite. I enjoy tackling a variety of projects from comics like Fly Samurai to fan-art posters, and I’m comfortable working remotely with clients worldwide.

I’m collaborative, adaptable, and driven by problem-solving. I’ve built an audience across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, and X, with thousands of followers and tens of thousands of views in recent months. My work blends technical craft with creative exploration, and I’m always eager to learn and grow.
