I’m Nick, a SCAD illustration graduate with a passion for all things medieval fantasy! I love working on character designs, book illustrations, and storyboards for all things related to DND and medieval fantasy games as a whole. I have my own DND-style fantasy world that I’ve designed creatures, characters, and props for, as well as scene illustrations and book art (covers as well as interior illustrations). I’m most well-known for my animatics featuring characters from this world, which you can view on my YouTube. I’m currently looking for digital freelance illustration work related to any of the above, but am very willing to branch out into other genres!
