Tonichi Gantioqui
@tonichigantioqui
Mid-level/Senior 2D/3D Artist specializing in game-ready illustration, animation, and asset creation.
What I'm looking for
I am a creative and detail-oriented Mid-Level/Senior 2D/3D Artist with 10+ years producing digital illustration, concept art, animation, and visual storytelling for games, mobile, and digital media. I combine strong foundations in anatomy, rendering, color theory, perspective, and composition with practical 3D modeling skills to deliver production-ready assets.
I have a proven track record delivering high-volume, high-quality assets under tight deadlines: I produced 100+ production-ready assets for Counter-Strike mini-games in under two months and consistently optimized assets for performance across platforms. I’m proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Animate, Spine, Figma, and Blender, and I apply technical art understanding—topology, optimization, shaders—to integrate assets into game engines.
I thrive in cross-functional, hybrid work environments where I mentor peers, collaborate with art directors, producers, and developers, and drive visual consistency across projects. I seek roles where I can contribute concept-to-production skills, lead visual development, and help teams elevate storytelling and player engagement.
