About
Hello! My name is Han and I'm a freelance illustrator and cartoonist with a passion for well told stories, mythology, and history. Its my goal with any of my work to create worlds that anyone can see themselves in. I work diligently to found worlds as diverse as our own.I currently work mostly with fantasy and mythology themes through my love of Critical Role and Supergiant Game's hit game series Hades. But I can work in any theme or setting.My work is made using Procreate and Clip Studio Paint. I am also self taught at Blender and use that to craft my own 3D models which I use at times. I do not and will never use generative AI at any point in my process.
