My name is Nicola Semmler.
I am a Professional Illustrator and Concept Artist from Australia. I specialise in Characters and Creatures, generally Fantasy, but occasionally branch out into other genres. While I do draw real-life animals, I also design creatures of my own.
I've been drawing ever since I was a kid, but I have "officially" been a professional since 2018. In that time I've worked as a freelancer on commissions. I also great prints of my personal projects to sell at conventions. I would love to work on bigger projects one day.
I have studied 3D art for games and film animations. I have earned an Advanced Diploma in Screen and Media (3d animation and film visual effects), which was taught alongside game art design. I also have a Cert IV in Visual arts.
While I have skills and knowledge in 3D modelling, I have always enjoyed the concept and Drawing side of things a lot more.
I prefer to work remotely, as it saves time and hassle for both parties.
I am always looking to improve my art. I love learning new techniques and finding ways to take skills others have taught me and add them to my style.
