Hey, I'm Romel. 👋

Illustrator, Comic Creator, & Character Designer

I’m a freelance artist and comic book creator based in sunny Perth, Western Australia. I spend my days turning big, bold ideas into dynamic visual stories, quirky characters, and vibrant sequential art.

My creative home turf is independent comics. I’m the creator and illustrator behind Lungiman, an action-packed Bangladeshi comic series published by Dhaka Comics. Four issues in, I’m still absolutely hooked on the thrill of building new worlds panel by panel. Over the years, I've also loved building worlds from the ground up as a concept and background artist at Mighty Punch Studios.

Classic animations, cartoons, and pop culture heavily inspire my style. Whether I'm getting my hands dirty with traditional brush pens or sketching out digital storyboards on a screen, I aim to create art that is expressive, memorable, and full of personality. I am constantly learning and drawing inspiration from the masters of the craft—following the incredible work of creators like Mehedi Haque, Daniel Warren Johnson, Jake Parker, and the legendary Kim Jung Gi, as well as many brilliant artists I discover online daily.

By day, I balance my creative passion with a fast-paced role driving a forklift at a retail logistics warehouse. By night, I’m back at the drawing board, experimenting with new drawing techniques, practicing art fundamentals, and bringing fresh characters to life.
