Illustrative & Blackwork is the name of the game, Noora’s main sources for inspiration are of course good music, movies and games, and obviously the work of other artists around her. Noora enjoys to design unique monsters and fantastical creatures, she can be found more than often designing small critters and bigger beasts on her tablet. [She can, and she will, get absorbed in the headspace of creating art if left alone.]
