Carlos Andres Martínez Pinillos

Freelance Character Concept Artist + Illustrator

Bogotá, Colombia
I am a graphic designer with emphasis on illustration. I’ve been motivated all my life by video games, comics and manga, being these the center of my style and what I want for my life.

As an Illustrator I’m into character design and concept art for video games. I’ve been working to chase my dream as a concept artist, been in several projects doing that, and now I’m close to have my dream come true.

As a graphic designer my works are plenty focused on visual identity, editorial design, social media images and web design.
