Summary

I'm freelance 2d fine artist and concept artist specializing in hyper-realistic portraiture and expressive character design.

I blend classical art fundamentals with digital techniques to create emotionally resonant and technically polished visuals. With over 10 years of freelance experience, I’ve worked on both personal commissions and large-scale commercial projects.

✨ Some of my work includes 600+ high-end illustrations for The Smiley Company’s “NewMoji” series, produced under NDA. You’ll find similar portrait-focused work here on my portfolio.

🎯 What I bring:
– Strong draftsmanship & form sensitivity

– Consistent delivery, clear communication

Open to: freelance gigs, collaborations, agency partnerships, or long-term remote roles.

Best regards,
Serhii.
