“I’ve been working as an illustrator for 13 years now,” explains Ian, who goes by the art name wickedalucard. “Most of the client illustrations I’ve worked on for the past years are for games and manga titles, and recently I’ve started working freelance in the hope of creating more personal projects.”
Ian’s dynamic work is heavily influenced by manga, anime, games and fashion, and he gravitates towards creating movement in his layouts. “I’m also fond of using pastel to saturate colours, and applying texture to my drawings,” he explains.
When not painting up a storm, Ian says he likes playing the guitar, collecting art books and playing with his six adorable cats.

2 Th e Decay “This piece was created as a guest illustration for the Motherland Chronicles project by zemotion and tobiee. It’s a very personal piece. I used heavy inking techniques to emphasise the dark elements and the overall illustration layout.”
