Malika Mutombo

Malika is a character designer and illustrator from Belgium. She’s worked for independent games for a few years, most recently on The Wagadu Chronicle where she focused on character art. Inspired by editorial fashion and beauty, Malika’s work often combines extravagant beauty with the fantastically monstrous, creating images that are as striking as they are ominous. Malika has been an Afro Hair Library fellow since 2020. Her sophisticated sense of design, meticulous attention to detail, and technical expertise in creating game-ready assets has been an incredible asset to the development of authentic fantasy styles for Black hair in the digital world.
