Summary

Passionate about art that can tell a story, I enjoy modern and fantasy themes. Capable of a range of skills including characters and environments.

In my free time I work hard on improving my art skills to share here and on other social media, along with hobbies such as swimming, JRPGs, watching animated shows and riding my motorbike.
