Concept Art - Creature Design - Illustration

Co-creator of Ancient Chronicles
I am an avid storyteller addicted to world building.
My personal project, Ancient Chronicles, has been the center of my life since its conception in 2007. The story explores the struggles of a universe as an old darkness reemerges from the past.

Do you still freelance or take commissions?
Yes. I take the occasional commission for fun and have done freelance work for indie game studio startups, small businesses, independent creators, and fellow world builders. I work fast and complete projects in a timely manner.

What's your role in Ancient Chronicles?
In addition to populating our lore compendium with articles and partaking in world building, lore, character, and narrative development alongside the other co-creator, I helm the production of comic pages and have created nearly all of the total concept art and illustrations. I also take up a lot of the administrative and relations tasks like researching merchandise options for our future crowdfunding campaign, keeping track of donations and expenses, website maintenance, and building relationships within the community.
