Hello!
I'm Ulfeid3, a self-taught Italian illustrator currently based in London with a background in graphic design and advertising.
My art is heavily influenced by anything fantasy, old myths, fables, and often inspired by nature, dreamscapes and vibrant colors.
✧✦✧
When I’m not drawing on commissions, I’m usually out taking long walks in the park with my SO, getting lost in a book or playing videogames.
My favourite genres are anything fantasy, grim-dark and historical fiction!
