Elaine Z.  /   hoshiyo

  • My specialty is chibi-style illustrations! However, I have been going to Nippon Designers School to learn how to create manga-style illustrations as well.

  • I draw a lot of fan-art, but I also draw original characters for games that I want to create.

  • My dream is to become an illustrator for either books, 2D Games or Character Merchandise - and I'd also like to be able to create cute and captivating artwork for my own games.

  • I hope to convey my emotions to everyone through all of my art!

  • Programs used: Clip Studio Paint, Paint Tool SAI, Adobe Illustrator. (*I also have some experience with Blender and VEGAS Pro)

Chibi-style

★ The compact size helps to convey cuteness.★ Inspired by artwork found on keychains and sticker sheets where complex designs need to be simplified. Some examples are Sanrio, San-X, and Takashi Mifune.★ Examples of chibi-style illustration projects that I have done can be found on the next page!
