Hello!
My name is Ale Ortega-Romero and I'm a Panamanian-Mexican illustrator and visdev artist. I hold a BFA in Illustration and Visual Development from Ringling College of Art and Design, and I have a background in 2D animation from Digipen Institute of Technology.
I have experience working in 2D animation as a background artist and Webtoon Originals as a background artist, concept artist, and colorist.
In both my personal and visdev work, I like to explore mixing traditional and digital art and I'm currently drafting a children's book using this method. Message me for a preview!
I primarily create diverse character designs and environments stemming from my upbringing as a Caribbean artist from Central America, which is my fountain of inspiration. I especially love ocean-centered worlds and stories and relatable characters that reflect upon my identity and culture.
Contact me if you're interested in working together!
