Illustrator
Hi! I'm Zeklewa, a full-time professional
illustrator in the video game industry
with expertise in anime-style illustrations.
I started drawing as a hobby
when I started teaching myself
how to draw 3 years ago.
Before I jumped into the art world,
I was a computer science graduate
pursuing a Master's degree.
The more I drew, the more
I realized my passion for
creating beautiful anime illustrations
is one to stay.
I hope to inspire a
new generation of artists
to join the art journey
that I came to love so much.
