Hello, I'm Noémie Lalande PIKANOA, a French-Canadian 2D artist, illustrator and graphic designer with a passion for video games, animation and character design. I work across Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Substance Painter/Designer, Blender, Maya, ZBrush, Unity, Procreate, and traditional media. I collaborate with indie game projects and live events, creating expressive characters, game art and visual identities. I also develop demonstrative and educational artistic content for social networks and have led live artistic performances with partners like Printemps, PlayStation, BMW and Warner. Based in Montréal, I combine art direction with hands-on creation to bring concepts to life—from sketches to polished assets. I enjoy interactive art, audience participation during customization workshops, and delivering vivid visuals that resonate with players and viewers.
