HiHiiiii! I’m Mikappi, a 2D artist and illustrator actively looking for freelance or studio work in games, animation or books. If you’re after hand-crafted art with personality and storytelling baked in — I’d love to hear from you!

What I Do:

  • Character design (stylised, realistic, anime, fashion-forward, creature design)
  • Illustration (promotional artwork, key art, visual storytelling)
  • Concept art (environments, props, worldbuilding, UI mockups)
  • Marketing and merchandise art (logos, icons, apparel graphics)
  • Visual development for games, comics, or apps

A Little About Me:

I’ve worked in the industry for 5+ years professionally (and 7+ years as a freelancer) — most notably as lead character artist on a now-cancelled mobile game with JAPAN SQUARE LTD, collaborating with teams like HYDE and Graphinica to design 50+ characters, direct UI flows, and bring everything together with world and narrative consistency. Sadly, the studio closed before launch, but I’m proud of what we built — and I’m still hungry to create.

I’ve also:

  • Designed for covers and book Illustrations best-selling authors
  • Created illustration work for indie games, apps, and manga covers
  • Contributed to projects ranging from emotive slice-of-life, cosy cute feels, to stylised horror or action and fantasy genres

I adapt quickly to new styles and pipelines, and I genuinely love collaborating across disciplines — from designers and coders to narrative teams and marketers.

Whether your project needs someone to bring characters to life, design environments or props -flesh out visual tone, or just add emotional weight and polish to your world — I’m ready to jump in.

Styles I can Work In

  • Anime/ Manga
  • Semi-Realism / Concept Painterly Artworks
  • Pixel

Although I am primarily looking for paid work, if your pitch interests me enough, I am open to collaborating without upfront payment. So! - if your elevator pitch is strong, let's see if it's something we can make together!

Let’s connect! Feel free to reach out if you have a project you are interested in me collaborating on or follow me here:

Looking forward to hearing about your world and how I can help bring it to life  – Mikappi ✦

Say NO to AI, work with real artists! 

Hi there, do you accept rev share? We are working on a visual novel and need artist to work on our game 

Hi Mikappi! I'm the lead developer for a really small studio called Team 22. We're working on an indie project and are in desperate need of an artist. We can't pay you upfront, but we do plan to release the game on Steam. Here is a link to our game demo if you want to give it a try! https://lukem13.itch.io/the-last-acorn
