Its funny how he first wanted to start at the art academy and now want to become a 2D/3D stylized game artist. It’s his goal to create stylized art with a great attention to detail and to get a cozy feeling while looking at his artworks. Besides his work, Valentine likes to skate and spend enough time with his lovely cat! A sweet and calm boy like Valentine has a lot of potential to grow with his work and most likely to inspire people with his amazing set of art skills!
