Bringing stories to life through light and color.

Martina Caruso is a Visual Development Artist and Colorist drawn to the storytelling power of light and color. Influenced by classic Disney animation, slapstick expressiveness, and Franco-Belgian bandes dessinées, she transforms line art into scenes with atmosphere, rhythm, and emotion. Her work focuses on color keys and color styling, using MediBang Paint and Clip Studio Paint to shape palettes that support the story while respecting the character of the original drawing. She values close collaboration with artists and animators, turning sketches into vivid, cohesive worlds.
