Graphic Design

I worked as a freelance 2D game artist for a tower defence game Uprising Sun, not yet released. I had the pleasure of producing the key art for the Steam capsules for the game. I also adapted the art for all requested screens following Steam's guidelines. I also designed and drew 6 characters that will appear in the game.

Programs: Krita

Overall I'm proficient in using the following programs: Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, illustrator, Animate, Krita, Davinci Resolve.
