Abstract
I consider myself a self-taught artist, with my artistic skills being mostly based on my strong photographic memory. I prefer traditional line art, and my artistic style is something in between realistic cartoonish and comic styles. I like making designs depicting interactions between animals and plants, since I am a huge enthusiast of such content. I use various colour palettes, but mostly, I prefer using darker colours, since I want my message to be disturbing, but also pleasing to the eye with accurate details.
