Summary

Kate Pfeilschiefter is a concept artist, illustrator and 3D character/creature artist based in the pacific northwest. Her inspirations span the gap between science and myth; from mythological beasts and cryptids to zoology, ecology and speculative biology. She specializes in creature design and modeling, though equally enjoys creating the environments in which these monsters, species and spirits live; helping to make them and their surroundings feel believable, intrinsic and occasionally too close for comfort.

In her free time she spends long hours interrogating flora and fauna, poking strange mushrooms in the woods, loosing arrows and collecting animal skulls.
