Danas najavljujemo 18. gošću 10. MSV-a (2025) — Lanu Šator!
Godine 2007. dobila je priliku da prvi put radi na velikom projektu — ilustrujući udžbenik engleskog jezika za osnovnu školu. Godinu dana kasnije, ona i njeni saradnici osnovali su neprofitnu organizaciju ,,Mottomo” — Društvo za proučavanje moderne vizuelne kulture Japana. Lana je u međuvremenu radila kao freelancer online, a 2013. godine dobila je priliku da dizajnira koncepte za videoigre — da, dobro ste čuli! Kreirala je sadržaj na Steam Workshop-u za DOTA 2, gdje su neke od njenih kreacija predstavljene u samoj igri, i kao ilustracije “ekrana za učitavanje” i kao 3D elementi. Počela je raditi kao konceptualna umjetnica za gejming firmu ,,Four Game Studio” u Mostaru 2015. godine – a da ne spominjemo, također je proizvodila službenu odjeću za DOTA 2 putem web stranice WeLoveFine. Izgleda da je majstor i umjetnosti i zanata! Danas nastavlja raditi kao freelancer, a njeni najnoviji poduhvati uključuju izradu stripova i maskota za ,,Spark Digital Accerelator” i maskota za ,,NSoft” – vodeću kompaniju za sportsku tehnologiju sa sjedištem u Mostaru. Tokom svojih formativnih umjetničkih godina, Lanu je pratila ljubav prema evropskim i američkim stripovima, kao i mangi s Dalekog istoka – i ista ta ljubav je vidljiva u cijelom njenom radu.
Lana je sila kada su u pitanju i digitalna i tradicionalna umjetnost, ona bez napora stvara izuzetne ilustracije koje će vas natjerati da se zapitate “da li je ovo stvarna osoba uradila?” – ali svi znamo da ništa u umjetnosti nije bez napora; potrebno je vrijeme, trud, krv, umor i suze… a kod Lane možemo vidjeti koliko je svega toga uložila u svoj rad. 🎨🪄
Today we’re announcing the 18th guest of the 10th MSV (2025) — Lana Šator!
In 2007, she was given the chance to work on a large project for the first time—illustrating an elementary school English textbook. She and her companions established the non-profit organization ,,Mottomo”—the Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture of Japan—a year later. Lana has been working as a freelancer online in the interim, and in 2013 she was given the opportunity to design concepts for video games — yes, you heard that right! She created content on the Steam Workshop for DOTA 2, where some of her creations are featured in the game itself, both as illustrations of “loading screens” and as 3D elements. She started working as a concept artist for the gaming firm ,,Four Game Studio” in Mostar in 2015 — not to mention, she had also manufactured official DOTA 2 apparel through the WeLoveFine website. A master of both arts and crafts, it seems! She continues to work as a freelancer today, and her most recent endeavors include making comics and mascots for ,,Spark Digital Accerelator” and mascots for ,,NSoft” — a leading sports technology company based in Mostar. Throughout her formative artistic years, Lana has been accompanied by a love for both European and American comics, as well as manga from the Far East — and that same love is apparent throughout her work.
Lana is a powerhouse when it comes to both digital and traditional art, she effortlessly creates visually compelling illustrations that will have you wondering “an actual person did this?” — but we all know nothing in art is effortless; it takes time, effort, blood, sweat and tears… and with Lana, we can tell how much she has poured all of that into her work. 🎨🪄
