Hi! my name is Akirou. I started doing digital art in 2019, but before that, I had been doing traditional art since I was a kid. My art style now is mainly semi-realistic oil painting, and I'm always looking to improve my skills and create something new!I'm excited to share my art with you. Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy my work <3
