Illustration | Marina Evlanova

Throughout my career, I have consistently produced high-quality illustrations, game concepts, character designs, and comics. I was shortlisted in the Book Illustration Competition in 2019 for my Howl's Moving Castle series, and I also have several published comics as artist and author - “The Greatest Fraud”, “Have you seen my glasses?”, “Glint” and 1 released PC game - “Know by Heart” (1 more is in progress - “the Epic”). I have experience in the production, presentation and sale of my own comics and apparently this also gave me a lot of experience for being a project manager. I enjoy creating engaging visual narrative art that evokes emotions in viewers, I love projects that pretend to be 2D or have their own unique visual style and would love to make more of them!
