I'm Naoki Ichiryu, a visual artist based in Singapore.
Professionally, I create digital illustrations. I can adapt to a variety of styles, ranging from manga and game to scientific.
My past roles include Scientific Illustrator at the National University of Singapore and Game Artist at PD Design Studios.
Privately, I explore various media like acrylic paint and polymer clay. I am currently learning hand-building stoneware pottery and sculptures.
My art is informed by my love for nature and science, as well as fascination in Youkai and other fantastical beings. I want to create art that evokes the sense of wonder and discovery.
I use @nyokiart online. ‘nyoki’ is an onomatopoeia of plant growth in Japanese.
