About Richard

With a pencil in hand since childhood and a tattoo machine since sixteen, I bring decades of artistic passion to the digital realm. My journey began with traditional art, evolved with tattooing, and expanded with digital tools in 1999 when I began mastering Photoshop. This dual foundation has shaped my approach to concept art, where every line, shadow, and element must tell a story, whether it’s inked onto skin or rendered on screen. My work thrives in realms that blend imagination with edge—post-apocalyptic landscapes, cyberpunk cities, sci-fi worlds, and horror themes. For me, world-building within these genres is an endless source of inspiration. I love the process of envisioning entire universes, crafting unique environments, props, and characters that inhabit them. Photoshop remains my go-to for intricate rendering and polished finishes, while Blender enables me to efficiently block out complex forms and perspectives. Recently, I’ve dedicated focus to Blender and ZBrush, exploring how these tools can further elevate my 3D and sculpting skills. But at the end of the day, tools are secondary; the final product—whether a meticulously crafted character or a richly textured environment—is what truly matters. Ready for a challenge, I’m here to help YOU bring your fictional worlds to life, designing the props, environments, and characters that transform stories into unforgettable visual experiences.

I meet Richard through College.
He reached out to me because I am not confident in drawing.

He has been a tremendous support and teacher. He has been showing us how to draw on the computer.

Since watching him and learning from him, I have more confidence in my drawings and digital skills.

Thank you for your support and guidance.
