I'm Diego del Solar, a. k. a. Shackhal. I was born in 1986 and I have been around videogames since 3 years old. Right now I live in Lima, Peru.

I worked in various places until I arrived in the videogame industry in 2012. Since then, I didn't stop creating and learning about game development, specially in 2D pixel art and animation. My preferences are around backgrounds, tilesets and scenary. Even so, I also like to work in character design and UI.

I graduated from Business Management in 2013 and Videogame Design in 2021, with a title in the latter. Currently I have a part-time job as a teacher in Toulouse Lautrec Institute, one that I like and plan to keep doing in the future. I’m also the founder & director of Taller Game Jam and co-chair in IGDA Perú.

Currently I’m available. So if you are interested, send me an email on diegodelsolargonzales@gmail.com.

See you around.
