Gharliera
Illustrator


Hello, I'm illustrator Gharliera.
I've made a name for myself
in the cyberpunk genre for my ability
to harmoniously combine
humans with machines.

I started off my career drawing
original game illustrations at Nexon,
cooperating with Riot Games,
and then working on Cyberpunk 2077.

I am currently working as a freelancer,
making a profit from working
with companies, and selling
merchandise goods.

While working at a company,
I realized that it was difficult
to draw the illustrations
that I wanted to draw.
So, I started thinking about ways
I could transition my career
into freelance work.

I left the company and went on
to successfully position myself
as a freelance illustrator.
I want to share more than just how
to draw unique illustrations;
I want to offer insights on improving
oneself as a freelance artist.

Interview
with Illustrator Gharliera

Question.01
Why have you specifically chosen
the cyberpunk genre?


The overall cyberpunk market—with its high demand and low supply—is a blue ocean. The cyberpunk genre emerged from non-mainstream status after the release of cyberpunk games like "Cyberpunk 2077" and Lady Gaga's use of the theme in her album.

Question.02
Is the cyberpunk genre the only subject taught in the lectures?


This genre is only a means of differentiating myself. I've composed the curriculum so that anyone from beginners to amateurs could take this class. You can learn the basics of character design, balance, and even designing a trendy layout to make your drawing stand out. You can also learn how to commercialize and promote your drawings.

Question.03
What do you put the most time into when creating an illustration?


The balance between machinery and the human body is important since "cyberpunk" is a genre in which machinery is used for certain parts of the body. The character does not look appealing when it is excessively composed of machinery, and it loses its uniqueness when the human body takes up too much of the composition.

Question.04
Is there any reason for using lines instead of having no outlines at all?


Drawing without outlines takes a long time, with having to keep drawing over the template, then carving and tidying up. I chose to minimize the time put into the process, and maximize the beauty by using special lines and coloring methods. With time being money for an illustrator, I had to find a way to shorten the time spent on the process.

Question.05
What was the greatest reason behind your decision of becoming a freelancer?


While working for a company and doing outsourced work as an illustrator, I realized that I could not draw the things I wanted to without changing something. I wanted to make a profit from something I was good at and wanted to do, so I chose to become a freelancer.

Question.06
What would be the three main things that could be learned through the lectures?


You'll learn how to create your own artistic universe, develop a unique drawing and design style, and how to brand your artwork for commercialization.
