About

Hiya! I'm Kel, also - often - known as ZaziI'm a sci-fi nerd, TTRPG player, and a freelance artist. I put a despicable amount of hours into video games. I'm a big fan of looking at cool bugs outside.I've been drawing since I could hold a crayon.
I started by drawing dragons and monsters-- turns out, not much has changed! I've always loved to draw, and took a breadth of art classes and read even more how-to-draw books to improve my skills.Nowadays, I dip my toes into just about everything. I've made game assets, animated avatars, concept art, reference sheets, and- my favorite- illustrations, portraits, and character designs.
I'm always looking for opportunities to learn more!Thanks for taking the time to check out my work!

Software: Clip Studio Paint, SAI Paint Tool, Paint.NET
Hardware: HUION 610PRO pen tablet and an old PC

My art process does NOT use generative AI.
