Illustrator and Visdev Artist
Hi, I'm Ariana Khodadoost, an illustrator working in visual development, graduating from SCAD in May 2026. Focusing on character and environment illustrations, I enjoy telling stories of unique worlds with rich culture and development using 3D modeling and digital painting skills.
Living across the world has been a creative influence, living in Cuenca, Ecuador for a few years. With a Persian-American background, different cultures continue to be impactful in my life. With a minor in Art History, I involve my passion for research and studies of culture into my work.
Starting with creating and drawing my own games from scratch as a kid, up to the present going into the video game and table-top games industry, art and creation have always been a joy to me. Games are a fun part of my life, both an outlet and inspiration. I also have a love for animation, growing up watching various animated shows and movies, therefore becoming my favorite media.
Inspired by art history, games, and animation, I work through visual storytelling.
