My name is Marina Ortega and I’m a Spanish concept artist based in Manchester, UK. I studied Fine Arts back in Spain, and kept learning the concept art and illustration workflows online at CGMA, Learn Squared, Underpaint Academy and more. After one year working in-house when relocating to UK in 2014, I became freelance and devoted mainly to environment and props design for videogames and films, and illustration.
I love creating worlds and locations for stories, I enjoy great narratives and meaningful projects in general, worldbuilding and generating emotion managing mood and lighting, working from scenes and environments to the smaller scale of mundane props.
