About me<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I love exploring human faces, whether capturing the subtle nuances of a real person<\/strong> in a portrait or inventing a<\/strong> captivating character<\/strong> from scratch. Bringing each person to life is a real joy, from detailed sketched pixel-based portraits of well-known faces to simple vector likenesses and sets of poses or emotions across multiple vector characters. I can also work with animators to bring these illustrations to life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
