From game ideas to visual concepts
My name is Anastasia Zhivova.
I’m an aspiring all-around artist for indie games. I create character and environment concepts, 3D models, textures, and other visual assets, helping turn game ideas into tangible visual forms.
I’m interested not only in imagining what a game world could look like, but also in bringing it to life—from initial sketches to finished assets.
From concept to visual idea
A game idea doesn’t have a finished visual identity yet—a character exists only as a description, and a world exists only in imagination. I help turn these concepts into visual concepts by exploring possibilities through sketches and concept art.
One idea. Multiple stages. A coherent result.
From initial sketches to a finished 3D character, each stage helps bring the original idea to life. I work with form, 3D modeling, and texturing, and can also showcase a character’s development through animation.
The process begins by exploring proportions, silhouettes, and facial features. Once the design takes shape, I bring it into 3D—building the model, developing its materials and textures, and preparing it for animation.
Animation is the final step—bringing the character to life and demonstrating how it moves and behaves.
The result: a fully realized 3D character, with each stage of its development clearly presented—from the first sketches to the final animation.
Finding the Mood Through Color
Color plays a key role in shaping the mood of a game environment. In my environment concept art, I experiment with color palettes, lighting, and contrast to find combinations that best capture the atmosphere of each location.
Beyond Character Design
A game’s visual identity is built from many interconnected elements. Alongside character design, I work on environment concepts, 3D assets, textures, and UI. I aim to make every element feel consistent with the project’s overall art direction, so they come together as parts of one cohesive world.
Let’s build a world together
I’m open to collaborating with small indie teams and game developers looking for an artist to help shape the visual direction of their projects.
I can contribute to concept art, character and environment design, as well as the creation of 3D assets for games.
Have a game idea? Let’s bring it to life visually.
