Animated fantasy

Even Mehl Amundsen is an artist who, if you are a gamer, you must have seen an extract of his portfolio during your gaming sessions. This plétoric artist with 300 000 fans on Instagram has indeed worked for studios like Ubisoft, Blizzard, Riot, Axis Animation, Blur, Guerilla Games, Wizards of the Coast and many others. Specialized in fantasy, he offers us, in his Artstation portfolio, a nice overview of the extent of his talents. Specialized in medieval fantasy universes, Even Amundsen plunges us into breathtaking worlds. He has a very particular style, with faces that are often round and jovial, bordering on caricature. But don’t be mistaken! If these faces bring a slight unreal “cartoon” side, the layout, the costumes, the details, the colors and the designs tell us exciting and fascinating stories.

Whether it’s full-length characters, life scenes, or epic moments, Even Mehl Amundsen brings a lot of life into each of his frescoes. It feels like the characters are coming to life and we are about to watch an animated series, or take control of an immersive video game. It is understandable that video game studios are snatching him up! As a freelancer, he has indeed worked on some of the most glorious titles and cult universes.

Even Mehl Amundsen is a rare artist, as comfortable in black and white compositions as in color, and mastering his art to the point of being able to accentuate a cartoonish side one moment, before exploring darker and more terrifying characters the next. I let you dive into his breathtaking work!
