Two names (and a pseudonym):
Valery Petkov
Introduce yourself in a few words:
I was born in 1986 in Kazanlak. A desperate pacifist, an introvert and an extrovert. I love reading books and comics, drawing, playing games and watching movies. I love sports, animals, traveling and eating good food.
What did you graduate from?
NATFA, majoring in Animation
What is your professional experience so far?
It's long. In general, I have experience in the film and game industry, in various freelance projects and personal ones, such as board games and others.
Tell us more about your work (style, technique, interests, way of working):
I try not to work in just one style. I love variety and try to provoke myself and experiment. Of course, I constantly absorb inspiration and techniques from various other authors and artists. My way of working depends on the task at hand and all the specifics that come with it. There is no one-size-fits-all formula or approach.
