David Baldridge

Concept artist and Illustrator

Ota city, Japan

Summary

🎨 I'm a concept artist focused on character and creature design for tabletop RPGs and fantasy-themed games. I’ve collaborated with teams at Steamforged Games, Kaptiv8 Games, and CryptoLand LLC to bring imaginative worlds to life—from miniatures and card art to polished in-game assets.

My workflow bridges traditional techniques and digital tools (Photoshop, Blender, Clip Studio Paint), with an emphasis on narrative-driven visuals and production-ready concepts.

I'm always open to new projects—especially ones that challenge visual storytelling through bold character design and rich worldbuilding.
