ENG | 한국어


Hello there, my name is Crysteria.
I am a Freelance Illustrator and Character Designer
.

My Passion for Art comes from the nurturing love I have for my Original Characters and their Lore as well as exploring the Nuances of Canon Characters and interpreting them.
I also enjoy visually imagining artistic ideas based on existing Music.
I specialize in creating intricate and detailed Illustrations.
In addition, I am slowly polishing my Artistic Skills towards Character Designing.
While speed is not my greatest strength, I am attentive to the detail and quality of my works.
