Bio

I'm Ari Wanless, a storyteller and illustrator who's been neck deep in creative things for as far back as I can remember. I made my first D&D character when I was 4, I wrote my first novel when I was 12, and I illustrated my first fully colored comic when I was 18. I've studied storytelling structure, and animation to help further my craft. I adore the marriage different aspects of storytelling, such as narrative, visuals, and game mechanics all used to further the experience in tandem. My goal is to get to create in a space with those elements.

I draw and design D&D, and other original characters on a commission basis. I'm currently in the process of developing my next comic/storyboarding project for a serial story, and I'm looking for work as a visual storyteller.
