@karankeni
2D artist at Wired Keys who created Unity sprites, modular props, and backgrounds for game projects.
What I'm looking for
At Wired Keys, I created sprites for animation in Unity, modular props, and backgrounds for game projects, delivering production-ready assets that met the studio’s style and technical requirements.
As a freelance artist, I create 2D art for individual clients, taking work from their briefs through to final delivery. I’ve also collaborated on visual asset packages, matching established art styles and preparing high-resolution assets for digital implementation.
On two game projects, I created 2D pixel art for a text-based indie game and a Unity game. I built 3D block-outs in Autodesk Maya and integrated them into my 2D workflow to support accurate perspective and faster turnaround.
At Young Rembrandts, I taught students to design board games and apply art fundamentals, including perspective, anatomy, and color theory. I’m open to studio roles and individual client commissions.
