Lee Sander Aripov

Game Designer, Artist and Writer

WHO AM I?

Greetings! My name is Lee Sander Aripov. I am an artist who is also interested in creating games, writing and streaming.Various media, like cartoons, movies, books and games, have inspired me since childhood and are still my most important sources of inspiration, which can be understood by my drawing style, themes and characters.I learned to draw myself, from different books and looking at drawings by other artists. I often wrote different short stories with my friends, wrote fan fiction and created different characters, which lead me to publishing my first ever book on 31st of August 2023.I know and speak more or less fluently in four languages - Russian as my native language, Ukrainian, English and German.I am often told that I am a kind and sympathetic person who treats people well and quickly finds a common language with them. I believe that I am a fast learner and can even deal with things that I have never done before, if I am given basic knowledge about this or that thing. I work well in a team, but I am also able to finish independent work quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, sometimes I can't use these abilities because of my state of health, that is, epilepsy. But despite this, I do not give up and continue to do what I like and what makes me happy.My goal has always been to make other people happy and I have succeeded - there were people who said that my drawings and stories lift their spirits, or even inspire them to draw, write or do something themselves in general. This is what motivates and inspires me to continue working and achieving my goals.
