Summary

Hi I'm Elliot, a devoted concept artist with a passion for games.
Although I feel at home with most genres, my specialty is fantasy, and I have a keen interest in history.
I characterize my work and methods as follows:
- The conviction that conceptual art without context quickly becomes generic. As such, understanding a project as a whole is key for making the right design choices.
- Interesting visuals that feel fresh and deviate from the mainstream, with an idea priming.
- Clear and efficient communication of visual solutions.
- Production driven choices keeping engine restriction, rig sharing, animation, etc... into consideration.

Fluent in English, Dutch, French

8 years of working experience in the games industry.

Studies: Graduated Sint Lucas Antwerpen, Bachelor Digital Arts and Entertainment.

Currently: freelancing as concept artist and illustrator, do not hesitate to contact me!
