I’m Samuele Colombini, a 2D artist and illustrator from Italy with a strong focus on character design, concept art, and visual storytelling. Since 2018, I’ve worked across a wide range of creative fields — from graphic design and children’s book illustration to editorial writing, animation-ready character assets, and art direction. My career includes experience as a graphic designer at Verona Network, where I contributed to branding, layout design, and social communication, as well as ongoing work as a writer for the monthly magazine Pantheon. I’ve illustrated multiple children’s books and collaborated with animation studios as both a character designer and art director, helping shape visual identities and narrative tone for projects seen by millions of viewers. This year I collaborated as a 2D artist at Global Ignition Interactive, creating concept art and character designs for a fantasy-themed TTRPG. My approach combines strong draftsmanship, solid anatomy, a cinematic sense of composition, and a deep passion for worldbuilding. Driven by pop culture, storytelling, and thoughtful design, I strive to create characters and worlds that feel alive, emotionally grounded, and visually compelling. I’m always looking for opportunities to grow, collaborate, and help teams bring meaningful stories to life.
