I am a Concept Artist and Illustrator trained traditionally in art at an art atelier with experience working in the indie gaming community and TTRPGS. I have worked with companies such as Altered Gene, Orthors and ArcForged. I worked on their title Head 2 head which is currently available via early access on steam. I have also recently worked on a fantasy TTRPG called Gothica Plagueworlds. I seek to create meaningful designs which reflect the real world as well as conveying a sense of fun and quirkiness seen in indie comics and cult B movie films. I have extensive experience in digital art and digital tools such as Photoshop as well as 3d software like Blender and Daz 3d. I often use these tools to aid my workflow when producing, Illustrations, Concept Art and other designs.
