What made you become a dev/artist?

I joke that every time I sang, my parents would say to me “you better draw” and now I’m here.

Adobe Photoshop.

What’s one tip you would give to someone starting out?
 
Just start. Give yourself time for making a progress – be patient and have fun. One thing which helped me significantly was work with more experienced artists.

How do you promote your work (games or assets)?

I’m not a specialist in this subject. I prefer to focus on creating more graphic assets.

What project are you working on now?

I’m trying to finish a new game kit with tanks, but with my current speed it will take a year.

Any completed projects/work you want to promote?

I worked on this game a couple years ago and it gave me much joy.

You could follow me on Dribbble. I’ll upload some screens from the games I worked on last year when they get published.

Favourite game ever & why?

I think it could be Tzar: Burden of the Crown. I spent hundreds of hours playing this game. I loved random maps, boosting units, game climate. But its campaign was so hard.
