my name is Francesco Gerbino, I am a 2D artist with consolidated experience in comics, and games, and I also have experience as a UI designer, level designer, concept artist, and storyboard artist.
My career, which began in 2005, as an artist of comics in the superhero and children's adventure genre, has allowed me to develop considerable stylistic versatility.
Over the years I have had the opportunity to collaborate with prestigious American and English publishing houses such as Lion Forge, Heroic Publishing, Zenescope, Penny Farthing Production, and TPUB, developing advanced skills in storytelling, storyboarding, character concept design, framing, and illustrations.
In 2008, my passion for the video game sector led me to found my own game development company, VILLAINS GAMES STUDIO, enriching my professional profile with skills in game design, level composition, quest preparation, and creation of sprites for animation.
Subsequently, I gained further experience working for two years at Skynetwork, where I worked on illustrations for manga games and UI/UX interfaces.
For another two years, I worked at Kinkoid, specializing in creating games for adults.
Working for Mancala Gaming, a casino games company, I created games contributed to the success of around 15 titles.
During this experience I deepened my knowledge in the creation of slot games, allowing me to improve my skills in UI/UX, creating symbols, logos, transitions for animation, and developing concepts for new slot games.
