the cover
Character sheets that hold up across a whole series, card art for decks and games, and the worlds they live in. I’m strongest at colour, light and metal.

04 About
I spent six years in game studios, the last four as a Senior Game Artist, painting characters and worlds to a brief and a deadline. Now I paint covers for authors who want their book picked up.
I hold a master’s in Game and Interactive Media Design from Rubika. I’m based in Goa and work with authors and publishers across India, so we can talk things through on a call in the same time zone.
