About me

Hello! I am Catlaiya but people also call me Catnip or by my FFXIV character's name Laiya, hence the combination for my artist name.I am a freelance artist from France who graduated with an engineering physics and materials degree, and incidentally, a hardcore FFXIV raider as an omni healer
(yes, it can feel random I know hehe)
· · ─ ·✦· ─ · ·
I specialize in character centered illustrations and game assets for pixel art games.
I like to experiment with different techniques: going from multiple styles of coloring for digital art to traditional mediums like watercolours, gouache or acrylics.
