Description

3D and 2D Artist with 12 years of experience in the video game industry. I help studios, agencies, and brands produce high-quality, production-ready visual content with fast turnaround times.

What I do:

3D Modeling. Full cycle in Blender and ZBrush: concept, sculpt, retopology, UVs, texturing in Substance Painter, and rendering in Marmoset. Characters and creatures, stylized environments, props, hard surface, and engine-optimized assets. Prototyping in Unreal Engine 5 and Unity.

2D Illustration and Art. Characters, backgrounds, icons, key art, and promotional material in Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, and Procreate.

Generative AI Production. I integrate Midjourney, GPT Image, Flux, Leonardo, and ComfyUI, as well as 3D generators like Tripo, Meshy, and Hunyuan, to accelerate the concept phase and multiply variations. The finishing is always manual: AI provides the foundation and speed, I paint the final result.

Experience:

Complete art sets for over 10 slot titles (Golden Lion, Las Atlantis, Lucky Tiger, Comic Play), often solo and under tight deadlines.

G5 Games: mobile casual on the Survivors and Secret Society projects.

2D Art Direction for a team of 11 artists: 100+ character cards delivered in 10 weeks while maintaining a consistent style.

Classical foundation: Lviv National Academy of Fine Arts, hundreds of hours of life drawing.

Remote work from Valencia (CET). Available for one-off projects or long-term collaborations.
