2D Character Artist & Illustrator | Book Covers, TTRPG, Steam Capsule

I’m a 2D Character Artist & Digital Illustrator specializing in stylized character illustration, fantasy and sci-fi artwork, book covers, TTRPG character art, and promotional visuals for games and publishing projects. I help indie game developers, authors, and creative teams turn ideas, references, and character concepts into polished illustrations that communicate personality, establish mood, and fit the intended project. WHAT I CAN CREATE - Character Illustration & Concept Art: Expressive character designs, stylized portraits, fantasy and sci-fi characters, and character-focused promotional artwork. - Game Art & Promotional Assets: Character splash art, Steam capsule illustrations, and marketing visuals designed to make a game's visual identity stand out. - Book Covers & Editorial Illustration: Fantasy and sci-fi cover art, TTRPG illustrations, album artwork, and character-driven visual storytelling. - Production-Ready Photoshop Files: High-resolution artwork, organized PSD layers, transparent PNG cutouts, and RGB or CMYK exports suited to your delivery requirements. MY WORKFLOW I approach each project with a clear production process: 1. Brief & Composition: Review your brief, references, visual direction, and intended use before developing rough composition or pose sketches. 2. Refinement: Establish clean forms, readable silhouettes, and a clear lighting direction. 3. Color & Lighting: Develop the palette and atmosphere to match the mood of your project. 4. Final Rendering & Delivery: Polish the illustration and prepare organized, usable files according to the agreed specifications. I create artwork natively in Adobe Photoshop, with attention to visual clarity, expressive rendering, and practical file organization. My portfolio includes fantasy and publishing character concept art, stylized character illustration, and stylized character portraits. Have a character illustration, book cover, or game art project in mind? Send me your brief, reference images, intended use, and deadline so we can define the right deliverables and milestones for your project.
