 Biography: Mirco Paganessi is a freelance illustrator from Italy. He has contributed to numerous companies including: Paizo Inc. (Pathfinder/Starfinder) Monte Cook Games (Numenera), Schwalb Entertainment (Shadow of the Daemon Lords), Green Ronin Publishing, Iron Realms Entertainment, Alderac Entertainment Group, Magpie Games, and recently Sigil Entertainment.

Born in Bergamo, Mirco’s love of painting and fantasy worlds was ever-present and as an adult, he worked hard to turn that passion into his craft. He has a master certificate in digital painting at iMasterart where he now teaches digital painting and characters design at Master Classes in Milan. 

His passions have become the subjects of his work. Mirco plays tabletop roleplaying games and dives into fantasy stories and lore of all kinds. Mirco is always looking to improve his digital painting technique… and to get his hands on more chocolate!
