Summary

I'm Blade Blackwood, an independent professional 2D artist with over seven years of experience in visual development, concept art, character design, and illustration.

Throughout my career, I have explored and mastered a wide range of artistic styles, allowing me to work both as an artist and art director across a variety of creative projects, from comics and video games to tabletop games, art toys, and illustrated books.

My strongest areas are the creation of monsters, creatures, dragons, and fantastical beings, with a versatile approach that ranges from realism to stylised cartoon art, combined with a deep appreciation and understanding of the traditions and techniques of classical painting.

Creating memorable worlds and creatures through visual narratives filled with colour, form, and essence is at the heart of my work.

I am also the author and artist of three published books, currently available on Amazon.
