The Art of Rachta Lin
Bringing the world’s iconic characters to life through illustration. Creating lasting stories through comics, games and manga.
I’m an artist and manga creator working between illustration, comics, and original storytelling. Everything here is drawn by hand, driven by a lifelong obsession, discipline, and a human soul.
I’m Rachta Lin.
Growing up reading manga, watching anime, playing video games, and drawing constantly, all I ever wanted was to become a manga artist. After years of working as a Creative Director at a multinational corporation, I quit my stable job to pursue that dream. A scary jump into the abyss.
Today, I’m best known for my American comic book cover work with publishers such as DC, Dynamite, Image, Skybound, Udon, and IDW, as well as illustration work for Magic: The Gathering & SEGA. Alongside this, I’m developing my own original manga series and have had the privilege of honing my storytelling with renowned Japanese manga publishers. A long-held dream is taking shape. Still, the journey continues, and there’s so much more ahead. It is far from over.
I'd love for you to join me on the journey ahead.
From Creative Director to Illustrator
Although I left my corporate career behind, I never left behind the lessons it taught me.
Before becoming a full-time illustrator, I spent years in the corporate world, working my way up to Creative Director. Along the way, I built experience across advertising, branding, UX/UI, and corporate design, leading creative teams and managing projects from concept to delivery. That experience taught me that great creative work goes beyond the artwork itself. It requires clear communication, collaboration, respect for deadlines, and an understanding of business objectives.
Today, I bring that same mindset to every creative partnership.

MY PORTFOLIO
Featured Works
Original Manga & Storytelling
Everything I do today began with one dream: to create stories of my own. Long before I illustrated comic covers, I spent my childhood reading manga, imagining worlds, and dreaming of becoming a manga artist. Today, alongside my work for publishers and game studios around the world, I'm building original stories, characters, and worlds of my own. These are the projects closest to my heart, and the reason I first picked up a pencil.
Explore my original manga, learn more about upcoming projects, and follow their journey through future Kickstarter campaigns.
Conventions & Guest Appearances
Conventions are an important part of my work. Conventions are where art meets the people it's created for. I travel the world because the work doesn't end when an illustration is finished.
Throughout the year, I've had the opportunity to attend events around the world as a guest artist, speaker, and panelist, sharing my work, meeting readers, and connecting with fellow creators. Those conversations are just as meaningful to me as the artwork itself. Comics and manga brought me joy and inspiration growing up. If my work can bring even a small part of that joy to someone else, then I've achieved something meaningful.
If you're looking for a guest artist, speaker, or workshop instructor for your event, I'd be delighted to be part of it.
Event Appearances
Guest appearances, panels, workshops, and conventions I’ve been invited to from around the world, spanning North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Speaking, Teaching & Mentorship
Beyond creating art, I’ve had the privilege of guest lecturing at universities, leading workshops, and speaking on convention panels, sharing practical knowledge gained through years of professional experience in the creative industry.
Today, I also lead and mentor a team of artists at my studio, where we work together on international creative projects. Beyond delivering great work, I believe a studio should also be a place where artists continue to learn, share knowledge, and grow together.
Speaking & Workshop Highlights
A selection of universities, conventions, publishers, and organizations around the world that have invited me to share my experience through talks, workshops, panels, and guest appearances.

An Autograph with a Story
In 2026, I introduced a new autograph after years of drawing-related nerve and muscle injuries began affecting my right arm. The new design is based on my very first personal logo, bringing a meaningful part of my artistic journey back to life.
