That is my way of sharing my own interpretation of the characters and scenes with other people around the world. In my illustrations, I enjoy playing with contrasts and vibrant colors along with clean lines, and I also tend to add little references and details for the viewer to find!

From the artist:
I am Enise, a Spanish digital artist. I like playing videogames, reading books and fantasy worlds, but above all I really love drawing fanarts of those topics.
