Tatiana started studying digital art in 2008, and by 2010 she was creating concepts and artwork for the video game industry. “For me, art isn’t just a job – I really love it,” she says. “Mostly I work digitally, but sometimes I like to draw traditional sketches, using pencils, markers and ink. Most of all I love to draw dark fantasy art, villains and creepy devilish beasts.”

Tatiana’s a self-confessed video game nerd and a huge fan of films. Her greatest influence is Gerald Brom: “He has inspired me through all my life. And chocolate. I love chocolate. Best thing in this world, after art of course!”

1 Rain

“It’s no secret, I love the splash screens for League of Legends, and one day I decided to paint something similar. Rendering all the details on the shield was a challenge.”

2 Sailor Deadpool

“This was my entry for the Comicon Challenge 2015 at GameArtisans.com. I had so much fun while doing this, and it seems other people like the work. It gives them a good laugh, too.”

3 Devil in her eyes

“This lady represents, for me, the key traits of feminine beauty: she’s strong, dangerous and attractive. I later realised that the image would have been better without the owl, but I hate to go back and repaint finished work.”

4 Red

“This is a perfect example of what I love to paint. Grumpy devil guy with horns and glowing eyes? Oh yes! Here I tried out a new painting technique and one new brush, and I’m more than happy with the result.”
