- You don't need words to tell a story. -

Hello! I'm Clara, in art Vegel, and that simple sentence is what got me into the character and creature art.

I came from a traditional artistic background, and I always had a passion for monsters and characters, but it was when I heard for the first time that sentence from a great teacher I had, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Turin, that I took the decision to persue the 3D road.
I didn't know where that path would have led me, but since then I never stopped creating characters and creatures with a story in mind to be told.

After a couple of years working as a freelance for many indipendent game studios, in 2022 I got my first contract into the game industry, and there I met my first mentor and 3d character lead, Mohamed Aly Rabie, who teach me and guide me through the creation of my first game ready special character for Couch Heroes Games Studio.
In 2025 I decided to take the opportunity to follow a Mentorship Program at Think Tank Training Centre, where I successfully graduated under the guidance of Tom Newbury.
