Erica Rossi
Freelance Illustrator, Concept Artist
Buggiano, Italy

Summary

I am an illustrator and concept artist based in Buggiano (a.k.a. the High Castle), Italy.
I attended the illustration and PS coloring for comic books courses at the International School of Comics in Florence. I'm trained in both digital and traditional media.
Thematically speaking, though fantasy art is my main 'tool of the trade', I also like sci-fi, horror, steampunk and historical illustration. Recently I started studying medical illustration as well, because a) I'm a long term fan of history of medicine and b) this means more inspo to gross people out when I go body horror or grotesque.

I currently work as a freelance concept artist and illustrator for the indie game dev studio Poppy Works and the 5E homebrew content publisher Critical Crafting.
