3D & 2D Game Artist

Athens, Greece

Summary

Hello! I'm a game designer and 3D & 2D environment / prop artist from Athens, Greece. My art style follows themes of anything stylized, cartoon, and cozy. I love low poly 3D and hand painted textures but I also have great experience in 3D voxel modeling and pixel art. I enjoy narrative and game design so I also develop, write, and publish fantasy art and tabletop adventures for D&D 5th Edition.
