Hey friends~
I go by the alias "Nio" I've been making digital art for about 8 years now, and I enjoy watching other online artists while analyzing drawing techniques that can benefit my own works as well. I've also been in art school for 3 years, and have graduated with an A.S. in New Media Design Technologies. I even do voice-over work for amateur projects, and sometimes stream video-games and drawings on Twitch (among other places) whenever the opportunity arises. Whether it be anime, manga, video-game concepts, etc.... I am always ready to explore different mediums to enhance my digital drawing techniques for others to appreciate~ If you would like to join my community, feel free to follow the links below and enjoy your stay!

Artist Statement
Video games and cartoons are constantly changing over the years. Interests in fantasy concepts and character designs have also varied for a long time, ever since the decline in 2-D animated movies over the last few decades. The purpose behind my choice of style is to provide a story that combines fantasy with reality by drawing dark fantasy subjects, including demons, monsters, fairies, and science-fiction to somewhat revitalize the beauty in cartoons, as well as the human form.
I construct digital artworks that consist of Japanese-styled cartoons (anime) and sensual pin-ups, usually depicting the dichotomy between "cute" and dark fantasy after becoming influenced by fantasy artists who combine mythical concepts with modern pin-up portraits of fictional characters. I also practice with traditional art, as well as storyboards and animations, with computer software and drawing tablets to provide entertainment to clients and followers alike.
