Concept Artist | Illustrator |Comic Creator

Hello everyone! My name is Anastasia!

Illustration and drawing is something that has always come natural to me, and as a child I would engage in these activities at every opportunity. This included extra-curricular art classes. I discovered my passion for comic creation at the age of 14, when I purchased my very first issue of Marvel. During my time at the AKTO Art and Design College (partnership with Middlesex University, London) in Athens, I evolved as a competent comic artist.

Upon completing my studies, most of the work assignments I took on were as a Children’s book illustrator. However, my portfolio also includes theme designs for sites, digital mini comics, posters as well as illustrations for novels and educational books.

I mainly work with Paint Tool Sai to create illustrations along with Photoshop, but I am also able to create through the traditional techniques of pencil, pen and ecoline ink.

My main goal is to create vivid stories and colourful images that capture the imagination. Movies, video games and other comic concepts have provided me with my main source of inspiration throughout my development as a comic artist, whether working on professional projects or otherwise.
