Description

Nice to meet you!

I'm Clara, an Illustrator and Concept Artist specializing in creating backgrounds in both line art and digital paint.

With over 4 years of experience as a background artist in the 2D animation sector, I have 4 2D series and 1 2D feature film to my name, and plenty of great ideas just waiting for your projects!!

I offer my services for:

-Designing unique illustrations based on your ideas (commissions, cover images, posters)

-Helping you find an aesthetic for your projects (art direction)

-Creating complex concepts and designs to guide your project (video games, series, film, advertising, etc..)

-Finding artistic and technical solutions to optimize your project (imagining an organization or a 2D pipeline)

-Creating the "Wow" backgrounds your project is missing (Kickstarter, Twitch, visual novel, social media, web series, etc..)

I can also design character concepts, character sheets (turnarounds, posing), object designs, and storyboards.

I am capable of adapting to different graphic styles, from semi-realistic to pre-school, as well as more cartoonish or illustrative universes. I have a strong command of 2D perspective, volume in line work, and a developed sensitivity for atmosphere and color.

On a more personal note, I am involved with cultural and performing arts associations to create and organize events, particularly for the Queer community.

If you have an artistic project revolving around these themes, I would be more than happy to discuss it with you!

For any requests or questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

I would be delighted to discuss with you and consider a future collaboration!

Looking forward to meeting you!
