Traveler Chimiru

Welcome to My Visual Storytelling Journey

This is my welcome to you, and to this next chapter of my artistic life. Here, I want to share the stories that have shaped my journey from those first stippled ink drawings – inspired by the condors gracing the pages of 1970s National Geographic –  to the digital worlds I craft today.

My path has been guided by many mentors, senpai who generously shared their wisdom and techniques. From traditional ink work to mastering DAZ3D, refining my skills in InDesign, Premiere, and Photoshop, each step forward has been illuminated by those who walked before me. More recently, my work with Dungeon Alchemist and my involvement with the Map Challenge has opened new realms of possibility, introducing me to fresh perspectives and talented guides who continue to shape my vision.

What you’ll find here is more than tutorials or technique breakdowns – though there will be plenty of tricks and discoveries to share. This is about visual storytelling from virtual worlds, where artifacts become part of the narrative, where each image carries forward a story that extends beyond its frame.

I believe deeply in the cycle of learning: seek your teachers, become skilled enough to teach. The mentors who invested in me understood this truth, and now I’m ready to pass forward what I’ve learned – the technical insights, the creative breakthroughs, and perhaps most importantly, the stories of growth and discovery that connect us all as artists.

So welcome. Whether you’re just beginning your journey with digital art, exploring the intersection of traditional techniques and modern tools, or looking to weave stronger narratives into your visual work, there are stories here for you.
