Illustrator | Freelance | he/him | WIP!
commissions open

Hello! My name is Dao and I'm a freelance illustrator with a focus on character art and design, worldbuilding, and horror. If you need to contact me for professional reason, please email [email protected]!














I've lived most of my life in the West and Midwest/South of the U.S., but I have lived in my mother's country of Thailand for a bit as well. For all of my life, I've drawn. As common of a story that is for visual artists, I only started taking the arts seriously in 2012. I am obsessed with learning new art techniques and trying out new mediums to improve my overall skill-set as a visual artist. Right now, I've greatly improved my skills as a Live2D Cubism rigger, and I'm learning to use acrylic gouache to sharpen my traditional painter skills.
