Summary

Thanks for stopping by!
Located in Bulgaria, I just concluded a spectacular 9-year run working as a Senior Character Artist for Rare's Sea of Thieves.
I've been hard at work at Rare through Sponge Hammer for 3 years, and I am now on the hunt for new and exciting worlds.
These days I find myself giving quite a bit of Artistic feedback, doing some workflow optimizations, scripts and plug-in creation.
