I’ve been an artist my whole life and recently have been developing games as well.

I do all sorts of art, be it traditional, graphic design, game assets,  animation, whatever you need, I can do it!

In order to make games, I had to learn to program so I can do that too!

I get a lot of influence from Japanese action games especially Godhand, Street Fighter, Guilty Gear and Bayonetta!
