Natali Samutina is a freelance illustrator from Armenia who specialises in splash art and dynamic illustrations. Working in Photoshop, Daz Studio and Blender, she aims to make her characters feel as believable as possible, allowing the viewer to imagine the scene coming to life in front of them.
Below, she tells us a little about three examples of her work, from League of Legends fan art to her own original characters.
Airis

“An illustration of one of my own original characters, Airis, standing against the people who want to destroy her city. Celtic and Pict cultures always inspire me.”
Cyberdemon Evelynn

“This splash art depicts Evelynn from League of Legends in a cyberpunk skin. I tried to create an environment and mood that suited her vibe.”
Bastet and Sekhmet

“This work was inspired by the game Hades. I love the unique style of this game and decided to create my own characters based on Egyptian mythology.”
