ESTIMATESAbout Digital Illustration & Design
I’m here for the art, not the hype. Every day, I show up to draw because that’s what matters to me. My work is all about creative flow and making art that feels alive. Ashtey! (That’s it!)
My Style
- Inspired by comic books, anime, and pop culture
- Character-focused, dynamic, and expressive
- Bold lines, versatile coloring - sometimes vibrant, sometimes gritty and noir
- Everything’s digital, mostly on Procreate with my iPad
What I Do
- Custom character design: Got an OC (original character) in your head? Or want a stylized version of yourself? I love building unique characters from scratch, whether it’s a fantasy creature or a Bengaluru-style Spidersona.
- Pop culture fan art: If you want your favorite hero or movie character drawn in my style, I’m all in. I’ve done everything from Marvel’s Black Cat to Kannada movie tributes.
- Stylized portrait illustration: Not your typical photo lookalike. I go for mood and personality, aiming for that vismaya (wonder) vibe.
- Album & cover art: Need something that stands out for your music or podcast? I’ve got experience making covers that grab attention.
How I Work
You’ll see the whole process - from rough sketch to final colors. I like to keep it transparent, so you get to watch your idea come to life, step by step.

My Story
Hey, I'm Manoj from Bengaluru. Art just kinda happens to me, ya know? Like, one minute I'm chilling in Cubbon Park, next thing—boom, yellow spider on my hand, and suddenly I'm sketching 'Spider-Man Bengaluru' on my iPad. That’s how most of my stuff starts—random, messy, sometimes silly. Not chasing perfection, just showing up and letting the weird ideas flow. That’s me, full power, every day.
My Work
Illustrations and Animations - I do digital art, anime-inspired digital illustrations, portraits, custom character design, and pop culture commissions.
Pop Culture Vibes - My art’s got bits of Dragon Ball, Kingsman, Ulidavaru Kandanthe and lots of Spider-Verse energy.
Go With The Flow - I just draw—sometimes a Procreate quick sketch, sometimes pen or marker, always what feels right.
All Human, No AI - Every piece is made by me, not AI. Showing up daily matters more than making it perfect.
