Illustrator: Kim Ekdahl Kim is a freelance illustrator based in Sweden. She has roots in game development and worked as a lead artist in the game industry before deciding to pursue illustration fulltime. Working with games made her realize her love for creating unique characters and telling enchanting stories with her art. When she's not illustrating she enjoys playing games, reading fantasy or sci-fi novels and taking care of her plants, which are all things that inspire her art greatly. She loves working with color, usually bright saturated ones, and is always on the hunt for the next perfect color palette.
