I’m Thomas Frick (also Xael) a 2D / 3D french artist from Strasbourg, working on Video games and Graphic design.
I started drawing very early in my childhood, and switched to digital techniques in 2007, exploring various techniques, like 2D animation, Pixel Art, Speed-painting, 3D modeling/sculpting and texturing. Graduated at university with a Master degree in Art and Multimedia since September 2011, I also worked on Comics Strips, Role Playing Games, book illustrations and Webdesign. Used to team work, I joined several freelance projects and already worked as Lead Artist on several indie games (CraftStudio, Alcyon, Dungeon Rushers, Hypixel etc.). I will sometimes be happy to accept freelance commissions. If you need me for anything, feel free to use this contact form
