A Creature Crafting Concepts

Design by SM A.

Hallo! 

I’m SM -- a digital artist/designer/game artist. I’m a Tampere University of Applied Sciences graduate, with a special focus on video game art, graphic design and UX.

 

I have years of experience as a freelance artist, working with people to bring their ideas on to a digital canvas. I've also done design and illustration work in various other projects. My current main focus is to develop myself as a graphic designer and UX designer. 

 

I also have interest in game art and comic illustration. These days I work mainly with digital medium, but I have prior experience with alcohol markers, watercolor and acrylics based work as well. I love adjusting my methods to whatever a project requires.


In this portfolio I've chosen to feature an assortment of projects I've been a part of, but this is not all I've worked on (or working on!)

Decorative picture of a cartoon hamster.

Despite branding myself around hamsters, in real life I'm not 50 hamsters in a trench coat... or am I?

Projects

Visual and UX design for conceptual AR art viewing application. 

Branding and visuals for a mock up chocolate confectionary brand.

Hextate concept

Whimsical concept, branding and visuals for (so far) fictional witch-themed real estate company.

Illlustration, ideation and usability testing for a cosy gaming website.

Various logos and custom illustrations or decorations that don't quite need their own pages.

Did you know I also do visual design (and other design) for video games projects? Now you do.
