Hello, and welcome! Game design has always been my passion, ever since I was a kid, and to that end have spent years studying development theories, principles, tricks and practices from all over the industry - tackling game jams with friends and colleagues in the past, and more recently being hired to work on the Undertale fan game, Underfell (by ManiaKnight), as its lead graphic artist. I've also made a point to push my hand-drawn art to a professional-level standard over the years as well, specializing in a sort of anime cell-shaded style, but being more than capable of working with more realistic styles based on the project at hand. I've...

Graphic design is a very complicated area to work in. All people have different tastes and sometimes it is quite complicated to create a good looking design that satisfies my client. So, before starting working on a new project I prefer to find out as many details as possible about my clients' expectation concerning the design I'm going to create. I also understand that sometimes it is necessary to create more than one version of some design. Updates are necessary part of our work and I do not mind to improve my images if my client think that they are need to be improved. After all, he or she is the one I am creating images for :). So I...
