    For the past 18 years, I’ve worked for many different film and game companies, both full-time and contract positions. Most recently, I worked as a lead artist and art director at 5th Planet Games, working on multiple titles, including the company's flagship game, Dawn of the Dragons. My responsibilities involved creating a wide range of in-game assets (such as avatars, items, maps, environments, and animations), managing a team of 5 to 10 contract artists located all over the world, searching for and recruiting new artists for that team, and refining / cleaning up the assets they created to ensure they were game-ready. I worked with the company's own in-house IP, as well as licensed IP during our partnership with Geek & Sundry.

    Hello! I'm Zoe, and I love turning ideas into beautiful illustrations. I'm drawn to projects that allow me to get creative—especially children's books and board games. If you have a unique project, I'm all ears! I’m proud of the positive feedback I’ve earned here on Upwork—feel free to check out what others have said about working with me! I invest deeply in every project I take on, and if you choose to work with me, you can count on having a partner dedicated to finding the most creative solutions possible. I thrive on collaboration and genuinely enjoy building on the ideas of my clients. The best projects I’ve been part of were those where clients and I actively shaped the outcome together to create something truly special. I hold a Bachelor's in Fine Arts and a Master's in Philosophy, which have honed both my technical skills and my love for new ideas. This background also makes me a strong writer—take a look at my specialized profile if you need someone for a creative writing project! Stylistically, I enjoy experimenting with everything from cute and light to gritty and cyberpunk themes. While I'm versatile with genres and styles, I maintain a consistent personal drawing style. I may not replicate another artist's style exactly, but I can blend inspirations with my own to create something unique for your project. I am thorough, patient, and always eager to take on new and exciting projects. Let’s connect and create something amazing together!

    Hi! I'm Miyu Kaneko, nice to meet you ((: ✩°。⋆Check out my portfolio at miyu-kaneko.com ⋆。°✩ I'm a Digital Media Artist from San Jose. I am interested in digital graphic design for marking and print, illustration, and 3D modeling. After being born in Japan, I moved to California at three months old. From this biculturality, I adapted an unique art style in mixing American and Japanese pop art-styles. With my struggle to adapt in the two cultures came a strong sense of exploration of self-identity, compassion, and having a curiosity for open conversations about delicate topics of mental health and individuality. I graduated From San Jose State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Digital Media Art, Spring 2023. Experienced in Blender, Adobe suites (LightRoom, Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro), Procreate, Processing, HTML, and a bit of MAYA and 3ds Max.

My favorite tool is a good stick of graphite led but I also love to make my drawings more vibrant with color, whether that's oil, watercolor, colored pencils or whatever else I feel will match the "tone" of the work. My favorite subjects to draw are anything fantasy/sci-fi related but i just love to draw! I use both traditional and digital mediums. If I can see it or you can think it, then i can draw it dynamically and accurately, from portraiture to cartoons and everything in between.
