Hoi! I am a plant biotech master student who happens to make paintings using Photoshop. I enjoy playing with color and light to depict nature and emotions.

"Wild Frontiers: Omia" was a project I worked on with a team of fellow students during my minor at St. Joost school of art and design. The story follows Thebit, a xenobiologist, who explores the planet Omia and describes the wildlife he encounters. I worked as the art director, background artist and color/light designer.

I started off by figuring out the main colour palette of this world; what is the colour of the sky, the vegetation, etc? To this end I made several small thumbnail compositions.
Preliminary sketches of some ecosystems, exploring in more detail the shapes and colours one would find here, implementing photobashing here and there.
Finally I made some spreads for the pitch bible. I first made preliminary sketches to pin down values. The final paintings were rendered in a sleek, textureless style. The last spread features creatures painted in by Lyle (@spooky_lyle on instagram).
"The Great Witch Hazel" was a project I worked on with a team of fellow students during my minor at St. Joost school of art and design. The story follows a young witch, Hazel, who struggles with controlling her magic and as a result accidentally turns her mother in to a rabbit. They go on an adventure in order to find out how to revert this transformation. I worked as a background artist and (environmental) color/light designer. I also came up with various background character designs.

I started off this project by exploring the moods and colours this magical world might have.
Final rendered pieces for the pitch bible were made in collaboration with Loek (@Sprookjesloek on instagram) (except for the last one) ; he provided the lineart/composition and character drawings, and i did the colouring, lighting and rendering in a painterly storybook style.

Various background character designs.
Throughout my studies I have created various illustrations and figures to support assignments.
