I’m a Senior Concept Artist and 2D Game Artist with 9+ years of experience creating characters, creatures, environments, cinematic illustrations, and production-ready game art.
I’ve worked as a Principal Game Artist, Art Lead, and Senior Concept Artist, contributing to character design, creature concepts, environment art, UI elements, 3D sculpting, texturing, and visual development for games and digital media.
I recently completed a complex cyberpunk illustration project on Upwork involving multiple characters, environment design, lighting, and cinematic storytelling, and received a 5-star review for diligence, communication, flexibility, and attention to detail.
I can help with:
• Character and creature design
• Environment and key art illustration
• Game concept art and visual development
• Props, weapons, gear, and UI elements
• 2D concept sheets for 3D production
• 3D sculpting and texturing support
• Art direction support, paint-overs, and visual feedback
My work combines strong 2D fundamentals with 3D production knowledge, so I can create designs that look visually strong and also make sense for game pipelines.
Tools: Photoshop, Procreate, ZBrush, Blender, Substance Painter, Marmoset Toolbag
If you need a reliable artist who understands visual storytelling, production needs, and clear communication, I’d be happy to help.
