About Nekrokat

Kat Baranyai | Hungary | freelancer digital illustrator and commission artistI'm a digital artist who loves to create illustrations of beautiful women and magical creatures.
I love to mix dark and bright themes, and incorporate my pieces with bright, striking colors and shimmer. You can find fantastical, whimsical, naturalistic and dark elements in my work.I like to think that the best way to describe my art is like how I paint hair: messy, chaotic, but flowy and ethereal.For as long as I can remember, I was always drawing. From copying anime girls from magazines and bubble gum stickers, to recreating video games on paper to enjoy in an offline space in my early life. I was collecting any kind of art I found, my youth was full of inspirations and big dreams of becoming a fashion designer, and later a tattoo artist.These aspirations later changed, when I bought my first digital tablet at the age of 16. The world opened a new window to me. I started my digital career with editing my own pictures, drawing all kinds of creatures and characters. Later came my love for World of Warcraft, and I started drawing characters from Azeroth.I started taking art seriously when I was 21. I wanted to become a freelance artist, so I started drawing daily. Every day, I drew something, that reinforced my will to improve and be able to create artworks. Being self-taught that had no prior education in the creative world is hard, but my dream come true at the age of 28 - I became a full time freelancer artist.I mainly do commission work - I create fantasy and semi-realistic illustrations, character designs for my clients and work with them to achieve the best results possible. I also do character designing in a form of adoptables - pre-made designs that can be used for various things such as vtuber designs, ttrpg characters or assets for visual novels.
