Konstantin Popov, a self-taught freelance artist based in Kazakhstan, began his artistic journey at the age of 20 after leaving his job as a lathe operator. He has developed a unique style specializing in character design, particularly inspired by anime. His creative process involves focusing on character design before proceeding to full illustrations, exploring dynamic poses and atmospheric elements to evoke mood. His featured elfin characters, each with distinct inspirations ranging from World of Warcraft to xenomorphs, illustrate his versatility and artistic evolution alongside fan art.
"I focus on character design first, then move to the main illustration. I explore dynamic poses, lighting and atmosphere to create a cohesive, engaging mood."
"This artwork began as a study, shifted into fan art, and eventually became a unique piece, evolving naturally as I explored new ideas during the process."
"The task here was to design how the Heart of the Aspects mount from World of Warcraft would look as a human. I decided to give it a cute appearance instead of the grim lady!"
"I created this design for a good friend. In the early stages I was inspired by xenomorphs, but the goal was to create a humanoid version of an Infinite Dragon from World of Warcraft."
