About Author

Hi, my name is Sergey Grechanyuk!

I am a concept artist and Art Director with more than 6 years of experience. Since childhood, I have always enjoyed drawing and I have always been very fond of movies and computer games, and, perhaps, I have been most impressed by cinematic trailers for games. I eventually realized that I could be a part of the creation of such projects. I have worked on dozens of cinematics, music videos, and triple-A games.

The most inspiring thing for me as a concept artist is that I literally depict what the final product will look like. You can basically translate what you have imagined into a visual language transforming into images of the things that existed only in your head. There are no limits to this profession as every task is a new challenge, and each previous work seems imperfect to you because you’re constantly developing your taste and skills. Because of that, you strive to make your next artwork even better.
