About
Artist and writer, gamer by passion, zoologist by education. Active online since 2005 when I discovered deviantArt and started uploading my work. Then some more. And then more, learning even more on the way and so in 2008 I started working freelance as an illustrator, alongside my regular, then, job at the zoo. Went full freelance in 2018. Completed multitude of projects for many clients. Currrently (2026) a bit in a limbo due to ai garbage which I hate with a passion. Times are tough. I'm still going because I'm tougher.
The past
Traditional art - all media, literally, I tried all because I'm a curious cat.
Digital art - painting, pixel art, 3D, photomanipulation. Mostly good old digital painting.
Styles/subjects - fantasy, dark fantasy, horror, fairytales, wildlife art, manga/anime, children's illustration, portraits, landscapes.
Past work: book illustrations & covers, educational materials, concept art for games, Tarot cards, TCG, animations, book design, visual identity and many, many, many more.
The present
Pixel art. It's cozy and familiar and gives me the nostalgia boost I need in a world driven by numbers and greed. I'm re-learning it in fact as I'm now following my own path rather than client's requirements. I intend to go back to freelance work as soon as I'm ready and the world finally understands ai is the bane of real artists and is killing them.
Gaming. As simple as it is.
