Anna Arkhipova – Designer

Illustrator with a love of painting fantasy characters that pop with personality and vibrant color.

Overview

I'm an artist currently based in Seattle, WA.

My art makes use of bold color to create fantastical, strange, and striking scenes. I specialize in designing characters to bring their personalities to life, and strive to use bold lighting and shapes to push the mood of every piece I paint. I'm very passionate about fantasy fiction, narrative games, and TTRPGs, so I'm always happy to support writing with visuals as best as I can!

My current illustration work is in freelance and game art assets, and I have worked on community-created zines in the past. I'm also a student at the University of Washington, pursuing a degree in Interactive Media Design. Aside from all that, I'm constantly worldbuilding, writing, and doodling about my litany of personal fantasy and sci-fi projects – my imagination never turns off, it seems!
