Hi, I’m Felipe Magaña. A self-taught artist from South America, now based in the Netherlands. I’m known for my fun, dynamic characters with a flavor reminiscent of 90s anime.

Throughout my career in animation and video game illustration, I’ve collaborated with Guerrilla Games, Nickelodeon, Polygon, Atomic Cartoons, Cook & Becker, DeviantArt and others. I specialize in Character Design, Mechanical Design, Concept Art, Apparel Design and Illustration.

All that said, collaborating with artists in different fields is the most rewarding part of my job. If you think we are a good fit, and you like human-made illustrations, let’s do something cool together!
