Hello! My name is Jess Raimondo, an Illustrator who specializes in Character Design and Concept Work, Creature Design, Story Illustrations, and Fashion and Costume Design. I am a 2D Character Designer aimed in areas of Mythology, Science Fiction, Fantasy, and any other fictional genre! Not only am I skilled in traditional work like drawing, sketching, painting, inking, coloring, etc. but I can also execute all those skills digitally! Currently, I am an Illustrator residing in Ohio who grew up in the world of art, movies, TV shows, and anything else delving into the genres I illustrate, utterly fascinated with the creative process of making a character come to LIFE! After I completed my general schooling, I attended the Cleveland Institute of Art to sharpen my skills in character design using fundamentals and creativity, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration and a minor in Creative Writing. If you are looking for someone to work in any of these genres and mediums, you have come to the right place!
