Biography
With over 6 years of professional experience I had a chance to work on projects of different styles in both full time and freelance. My responsibilities included creating custom illustrations from scratch, collaborating with other artists and guiding them as an Art Lead to ensure the best quality.
I also had a chance to work as character concept artist creating turnarounds and designs based on the brief, and than cooperating with 3D team to transfer them to the game properly. Used to work on projects such as Silberheim, Legendary: Game of Heroes, Dreams Quest and others. My specialization is mostly characters of semi-realistic style in fantasy settings.
For the last few years I’ve also spend some time working as books illustrator for publishers such as Bookish Box, Owlcrate and Rainbow Crate creating covers and endpapers for fantasy books.
My favorite thing about working in games is a chance to meet new talented people who are as passionate about art as I am, share experience and stories. So I’m so excited to see what this year’s THU would bring!
