Available to hire
Hi! I’m Shirley Ilie—an artist and graphic designer from Romania with a strong focus on illustration, concept art, and environment & character design. I work across traditional oil painting and digital art, combining observation with imagination to create compelling visuals for games, stories, and art projects.
I’m passionate about building characters and worlds with clear visual storytelling, and I enjoy collaborating with teams while keeping high work ethics. Alongside tools like Photoshop, Blender, ZBrush, and SketchUp, I also use AI tools such as Midjourney and Magnific to explore new styles and speed up ideation—always with the goal of delivering polished, audience-ready artwork.
