Bringing fictional characters to life
I’m a digital artist creating expressive character illustrations, book artwork and original commissions for authors and people who love fictional worlds a little too much.
Experience
I’ve been making art full-time since 2019. It started with posting my work online, taking the occasional commission and mostly just trying to get better at what I was doing.
I never went to art school, so I learned by drawing a lot, fucking up a lot, and becoming slightly obsessed with figuring out why something works instead of just whether it looks good.
Eventually I started a Patreon to share more of that process- sketches, behind-the-scenes and tutorials.
Characters are still my favorite thing to paint. I love expressions, body language and all those tiny details that make someone feel like an actual person.
Give me your OC and I’ll probably overthink their face more than you do. 😭
