Lunarmimi
Hello, I'm Lunarmimi, or Lunar. I'm a freelance illustrator passionate about crafting adorable anime-style female character illustrations.
With a decade of experience in the industry, I've honed my skills creating artwork for mobile and card games. I began my journey at a local game company, then made the leap to a Japanese art studio based in Thailand. My time there sharpened my focus on creating anime-style illustrations for card games.
Now, I enjoy working remotely for a Japanese art agency as a freelance artist.

Interview with
Illustrator Lunarmimi
Since I began my art journey, I've had a strong passion for creating cute anime illustrations. Growing up, Japanese anime greatly influenced me, and designing female characters became my favorite thing to do. Drawing femininity allows me to express myself, sharing my message through the charm of the characters with others. Also, it's powerful to embrace the feminine and use it to influence the viewer.
What sets me apart is the unique perspective and insights I bring from years of industry experience. I prioritize a hands-on approach, offering practical advice and techniques based on real-world projects. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoy simplifying explanations to ensure they are easy to understand and follow.
An open mind and a growth mindset are key to success in any industry, including the art industry. Continuous learning and adaptation are essential for thriving. It's crucial to expand beyond just art skills. Most importantly, it's about seeing the world and the industry as they truly are. Embrace reality over expectations.
