I'm Shawn Tan, a long-time self-taught 2D digital artist. I've been creating digital art since 2011, and I’ve loved drawing even earlier. As a freelancer, I build vibrant art for games and brands—from NFT game illustrations and game assets to concept art for creatures and sprites, streamer emotes, and commissions. I value client collaboration, frequent feedback, and delivering art that matches the brief, including NSFW projects when requested.
