Comic Book Artist \ Children Book Illustrator \ Book illustrator

Comic Artist & Illustrator | Visual Storytelling | Graphic Novels, Characters, Covers I help writers, publishers, and indie creators bring their stories to life through strong visual storytelling, expressive characters, and production-ready artwork. Working commercially since 2020, with a lifelong foundation in art, I specialize in comics, narrative illustration, and character-driven projects. I’ve also worked as a Senior Artist on a Kickstarter-funded project, contributing to visual development, character design, and final artwork. My focus is simple: making your story read clearly, feel impactful, and look professional at every stage. What I can do for you: • Full comic page production (thumbnails → sketch → line → color → final) • Graphic novels and long-form storytelling • Character design (concepts, turnarounds, presentation sheets) • Cover art (print-ready, including wraparound) • Children’s book illustration (from story development to final artwork) • Custom-illustrated stories and personal comics I work in multiple styles — from semi-realistic to stylized and cartoon — adapting to your project’s tone, audience, and publishing goals. Workflow & collaboration: I use a clear, structured pipeline with regular checkpoints: thumbnails → sketch → line art → color → final polish This ensures smooth communication, predictable timelines, and results that match your vision. Why clients work with me: • Strong storytelling focus (not just illustration, but readable narrative) • Full production pipeline support • Clear communication and reliable deadlines • Attention to detail, mood, and character expression Whether you’re creating a comic, developing a book, or building a visual story from scratch — I can help you take it from idea to finished artwork. Feel free to reach out and share your project. — Vika Zuban Comic Artist & Illustrator
