I’m a Graphic Designer & Illustrator specializing in two areas:
🎨 Pixel Art & Game Assets
I create unique pixel art characters, props, and environments for game development and NFT projects. My work includes static designs and animated pixel art — from walk cycles and attacks to pixel SFX sprites. All assets are optimized for use in 2D game engines and digital collections.
