I'm a painter who, for love of board games and video games, turned to concept art. I work both in traditional and digital to convey a defined goal. I like dark fantasy as well as colourful cartoons. I have developed scenery and characters for YouTube channel 'Street Gems' with a gladiators theme including environment design, armor, and costume design of the middle Roman Empire age. I have painted several book covers and promotional material for the Ghosts series of Hemant Nayak, published by Amazon. I have extensive experience as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, having worked for metal and rap bands, most notably JumpScare, Rawfoil, and VV. I also interned as a graphic designer for Frontiers Records and am the CEO of Frontiers Records. My skills include illustration, realistic and cartoon styles, sprite graphics, background art, professional painting, character and creature design, and use of Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, and Rebelle 7 Pro.
