Hi, I’m Shawn Tan, a self-taught 2D digital artist based in Singapore. I’ve been drawing and creating digital art since 2011, evolving from traditional sketching into illustration, concept art, game assets, and animation. I freelance full-time and enjoy collaborating with clients to bring ideas to vibrant life—whether it’s character designs, background art, emotes, or short ads. I’m comfortable with feedback, can adapt to NSFW commissions when needed, and love exploring different styles and projects.…Hi, I’m Shawn Tan, a self-taught 2D digital artist based in Singapore.
