Tanya P.

I create handcrafted fantasy illustrations and character art — the kind that gives your world a visual identity, your characters a presence, and your project the polish it deserves. Every piece I deliver is researched, illustrated, and refined by hand — no shortcuts, no AI generation. 👇What can I help you with?👇 ✔ Fantasy character design & concept art — for TTRPGs, board games, card games, and fiction books ✔ Narrative scene illustrations — key art, chapter headers, campaign spreads, encounter scenes ✔ Visual development & world-building — turning your ideas, lore, and mood into a coherent visual language ✔ Character portrait commissions — for D&D campaigns, RPG products, and fantasy publications Why clients choose me: ✔ Proven game industry background Award-winning illustrator with 5+ years working with game studios, publishers, and independent authors — including Wooga (June's Journey, $1B+ mobile game), Vampire: The Masquerade – Eternal Struggle, Ulisses Spiele, Ghostfire Gaming, and New York Times bestselling authors. My work is published in 5 released titles (2022–2025). I understand production pipelines and how to deliver assets that actually ship. ✔ Collaborative by default As Lead Artist and Art Director on a fantasy roguelike, I managed a team of 3 artists and guided client direction at every stage. I'm a Top Rated freelancer on Upwork with extensive experience helping indie authors and studios clarify their vision. I ask the right questions early, flag issues before they become problems, and actively guide the creative process — not just execute a brief. ✔ Storytelling over decoration I don't just render pretty characters. I research lore, study costume and anatomy, and build illustrations that carry narrative weight. Art that makes your audience feel the world is real. ✔Genuine craft In a market increasingly flooded with generated images, I offer something rare: illustration built on years of study in anatomy, color theory, composition, and visual storytelling. I hold a BA in Design along with additional training at CGMA, Smirnov School, SmArt School, and CG Lab. The difference shows. 💻Software: Photoshop, Procreate, Blender, DAZ 3D If you’re looking for a fantasy artist who can help you shape and visualize your world with strong storytelling and high-quality execution, I’d be happy to collaborate.
