About me

Luca Sotgiu was born in Oristano, Sardinia, and has lived in Rome since he was a child. His passion for drawing emerged very early and, after high school, became the focus of his studies: first at the Scuola Internazionale di Comics, then at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, and later as a student of Riccardo Federici.

He began his career with appearances on superhero comics for a small independent American publisher, while also working as a tattoo artist in several renowned studios in Rome. In 2014 he worked on the inks for Fredegonde for the French publisher Delcourt, and the following year he illustrated the seventh and final volume of the series Succubes for Soleil.

Over time he shifted his focus to fantasy illustration for role-playing and board games, collaborating mainly with American publishers and contributing to several Kickstarter campaigns. Since 2017 he has had an ongoing collaboration with Paizo (USA), creating illustrations and creature concepts for various Pathfinder and Starfinder books and manuals.

In 2018 he self-published a sketchbook, took part in several exhibitions – including one curated by ENPA – and designed a Jack the Ripper statue for Lakedaimon Studio in Rome. Since 2019 he has been working as an illustrator and Art Director for an emerging board-game publishing house, supporting multiple Kickstarter projects in development.

Since 2020 he has also been teaching Illustration at Pencil ART.
