Gael-d-k

I possess an artistic style that seamlessly blends dissonance and grace, drawing inspiration from AniManga, dark, and surreal Symbolism. My artistic approach extends to various domains, including traditional art, virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), digital art, and 3D/2D animation development using UE4 . I work in the video game industry, specializing in art direction for VR games and indie game .
