the art of Aster Santiago

Overview
Hello! I am Aster Santiago, an illustrator, animator and concept artist originally from Mexico City currently based in Philadelphia, USA.
I have worked in a variety of projects ranging from animation, games, publishing and kidlit, with clients such as Cartoon Network and Condé Nast, as well as a bunch of indie projects.
Let's work on awesome projects together!
My character design work mostly includes TTRPG and comics. I love designing expressive colorful characters with BIG personalities.
I've had the chance to work on many different mobile game IPs, which has given me a lot of experience doing UI and prop design.
I've done layout for video games and animation. I like to imagine rich, narrative driven worlds with lots of details to explore.
I've been working as an independent illustrator for more than 10 years. Kidlit, editorial, personal client work, and more.
I have been an inker, colorist and art director on many indy comic projects. I am also currently working on the pitch bible for my own graphic novel!
I manage my own art small business and a sticker club that I create a lot of designs for.
