About me
A former stickler for traditional media, I have fully embraced the world of digital media to expand my skills and reinvent myself as an artist and designer
I create illustrations, concept & character art
With years of experience in the realm of fine art and portrait painting, I have gathered the skills and understanding of composition, form, and lighting to create compelling and captivating concept art and character designs.
I’ve spent most of these years working with traditional media like graphite, watercolors, and oils on paper, panels, canvas. However, in more recent years I’ve been honing my skills across different digital art platforms like Photoshop, Fresco, and Illustrator to name a few (I’ve even begun adding some 3D platforms to my skillset like Blendr and Zbrush). . With me, you aren’t forced to accept anything. I can offer a variety of options we can work on together.
What I do
From understanding your requirements, designing a blueprint and delivering the final product, I do everything that falls in between these lines.
And a touch of world-building…
