ComfyUI AI artist based in Ukraine, with more than 20 years of experience in traditional and digital media. Specializes in custom LoRA
training & dataset curation, and creating custom characters across multiple art styles.

I began my professional career hand-drawing concept arts and backgrounds for European cartoons in the early 2000s. I quickly
transitioned into digital art, picking up software skills in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. From 2006, I mainly worked on background art
and interface design for 2D and 3D games. I also broadened my expertise in 3D textures by learning 3ds Max, Nuke and ZBrush. From 2015
to 2019, I was one of the main 2D and matte painting artists at FILM.UA, and contributed to Ukraine's best known 3D animated films.

With experience in a multitude of game and film projects, I am equipped with a capacity to efficiently create 2D art for projects of any
scale and any graphic style. I have a solid work ethic for delivering art to high-profile clients.
