About me!

Hi! I'm Maddy McHugh.

​

I am an illustrator/concept  artist in Philadelphia, from West Virginia. 

​

I have a passion for world-building and character focused projects inspired by my love of fantasy, and shaped by my modern queer perspective. My work seeks to capture what is magical about mundanity and what fantasy can be brought into our lives!

 I love to paint intricate lighting effects, and invite the viewer to know more about the space and people I am painting. Through bright colors and cute flair, I create worlds that are meant to be explored!

​

I use gouache, pastel, colored pencil, and photoshop to create my work.

​

When I'm not illustrating...

 

 I love playing videogames (favorites being turn-based RPG's like Bravely Default and Fire Emblem),  playing D&D with friends,  watching anime with my girlfriend.
