Hi! Check out full portfolio at stufa.artstation.com I'm a 2D artist with skills and interest in casual semi-realistic and stylized game art. My strong suits are character design and concept art, but I can also do backgrounds and illustrations. My main software is Adobe Photoshop for digital work . The main themes the inspire me are from nature, mythology and stories in general, the weirder the better. I'm also learning more and more about visual storytelling and how to incorporate that into my work, so job involving that would be extra interesting to me! I can also do realistic/cartoony/fantasy portraits of people and animals. You can expect from me simple sketches to fully rendered illustrations. Whatever you might need, I'll do my best to provide! No job is too small for me, so I'd love to help you realize any ideas you have and embark on new challenges! :) Cheers, Stufa (artist nickname)
