About

Hi! I'm Urtzi Errasti, a Basque visual develoment artist and character design artist based in Madrid.

I'm eager and passionate to bring stories and characters to life by giving them a unique personality. This is clear in my personal project As The River Flows, wich focuses on character exploration and a rich woldbuilding fueled by wanting to show my own culture and traditions with a fantasy twist. 

Pirate enjoyer, all things sea lover and Doraemon enthusiast: When not drawing or writing I can be found exploring the city and nature and fantasizing about being an explorer. I also love engaging in other art forms as theater, photography and fashion!
