About Nils

My name is Nils and here is my portfolio: nihils.art

I am an illustrator, draftsman, and concept artist, specializing in science fiction and fantasy, as well as the author of a digital comic book, freely accessible here: read-empire.com

For over 10 years, I have been assisting video game studios, authors, and publishing houses in creating illustrations, characters, environments, and covers with a strong visual identity.

I combine traditional drawing and digital painting (Photoshop, Blender, 3DS Max) to produce images ready for use or printing.

-

I spent four years in Paris studying art oriented towards animation, comic books, concept art, and illustration, including courses in color theory, anatomy for drawing, and perspective, which provided me with the graphic foundation I needed for illustration. I also created a portfolio representative of my illustration skills, which you can see here: nihils.art

After two years in various studios (as a concept artist, sci-fi character designer, background artist, or storyboarder), I decided to go freelance.

I am very comfortable with Adobe Photoshop (and the Adobe suite in general) as well as several 3D modeling software, such as Blender or Autodesk 3DS Max, which allows me to understand the video game creation pipeline and also to improve my illustrations.

Finally, eager to travel (78 countries visited by hitchhiking and staying with locals), I have acquired excellent interpersonal skills, I speak English perfectly, I am learning Spanish and Russian, and I have been able to enrich my graphic vocabulary to fuel my work as an illustrator.
