Hi! I'm Dijana! I'm a 2D artist/generalist with 6 years of gamedev experience, and 3 years of management experience. I love painting portraits, characters and fantasy illustrations.
Biography
I attended the Art Academy in Split where I got my MA in Fine Art and Art Education. After graduating, while working on developing my skills, personal projects, and working on private commissions, I started applying to game studios. My first job was as a prop artist on PC and mobile games. Within a year and a half, I was promoted to an Art Lead position, and then again to an Art Team Lead position two years after that. I also spent a year freelancing as an illustrator on mobile apps. I have experience doing both stylized and realistic 2D art for games. In my free time, I love painting portraits, annoying my 14 year old cat (it's mutual), playing Overwatch 2 or Civ6, and reading fantasy books. Dream projects would be a visually updated HOMM3 game, or Civilisation 7.
