Hi, I'm Nyako Arana, a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for character design and visual development.
Hi, I’m Nyako Arana, a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for character design and visual development. I specialize in creating playful and stylized assets for toys, collectibles, and interactive media, working across both 2D and 3D workflows. I love translating form language, silhouette, and storytelling into appealing physical figures and pitch-ready illustrations.
I am proficient in sculpting, digital modeling, 3D-print preparation, and have experience leading art teams and projects. Whether I’m designing characters or guiding the visual aesthetic of a game, I enjoy bringing creative ideas to life and collaborating with others to create engaging and production-ready art assets.
VEROCITY is a high-speed mech racing game and the capstone project for the grad program I was in. I served as the visual development artist and art director, responsible for a wide range of contributions, including concept art, character and prop design, splash illustration, and overall visual direction. Available to play now on Steam!
Created assets for VR and digital twin projects; collaborated on interactive, production-worthy designs optimized for game engines.
Instructed full character art pipeline; led sculpting demos, crits, and in-class mentorship focused on silhouette clarity, form appeal, and production readiness.
