Concept Artist and Illustrator

Summary

Hello! My name is Maximilian Madsen.

I am a Danish Concept Artist and Illustrator with 10+ years of experience and a passion for problem solving. Through the years, I’ve garnered a reputation as a “fix-it guy” and have found my home in team leading and restoring order where needs be. I believe the key to a successful production lies in making everyone feel valued, and so my goal is always to bring a team further together by helping others shine.

I have a variety of experience, having worked on several projects under titles such as:
Background Painter and Supervisor, Art Director, Illustrator and Concept Artist.

I am also well-versed in working with individual, private clients for commissioned illustrations, and am used to working both on-site and remote across time-zones.

Education: Bachelors degree in Computer Graphic Arts.
Studied at: The Animation Workshop, Denmark.
