ArmugunA
Hello, I am ArmugunA, a professional concept artist who has worked with renowned companies like Wemade, Pearl Abyss, and NEOWIZ. Currently, I work as a live-action project character concept artist and also as a concept art instructor at the Academy. During my early twenties, I faced a significant challenge with drawing. Unlike my friends who were gifted painters, I struggled to produce quality art. However, I was persistent and worked hard to improve my skills, learning through various challenges and experiences. Becoming a professional concept artist was not an easy journey for me, and I encountered many difficulties along the way. Nevertheless, I managed to overcome those challenges and emerge as a successful artist. If you are currently facing similar challenges, don't give up. Although there isn't a perfect solution, I would like to share the lessons I learned at each turning point. I will do my best to present them in an easy-to-understand manner to help you keep fighting until you achieve your goals.
