I'm Cristina, 2D Artist + 2D Animator with a touch of Game Design and 3D Character Modelling thrown in to keep things fun and interesting.

Biography

Since 2018 I started up my own freelance art business, Bespoke Character Creations, focused on helping people visualise their TTRPG characters. I have a deep understanding of customer experience, leveraging this to look at common pain points experienced throughout a commissioners art journey, and creating key workflow steps and targeted social media posts to alleviate these issues. This led to creating a solid repeat client base, no longer having to spend too much time chasing leads or seeking new clients. It also gave me the opportunity to explore new mediums, like print, to create unique custom trading cards or stickers for my clients.

More recently, I finished up studies delving into 2D animation as well as 3D modelling. I find that I really enjoy being able to take things from the intiial 2D concept through to another medium to breathe more life into it.
