Mike Nash’s Summary
Over the years I have tackled a variety of art styles and as a result I am experienced in pencil drawn designs, three-dimensional miniatures, photography, Stop-Motion animation and digital painting. My experiments within these individual methods have collaborated to form my current visual style. I have a passion for detail and enjoy capturing texture, contrast and realistic lighting effects; therefore my work tends to be quite atmospheric and powerful.
I am interested primarily in conceptual artwork, be it for film, video games or book illustration. I find the idea of creating imaginary worlds full of creative characters incredibly exciting and thought provoking. However despite my interest in fictitious creatures I like to harness a sense of realism, narrative and history within my designs. My work balances on the divide between plausibility and fantasy.
I studied for four years at Art University and achieved a 2.1 BA Degree in Illustration. Previously I left school with three A-Levels in Art, Photography and Graphic Design.
I have recently completed a large project with Wizards of the Coast creating a number of illustrations for their popular Dungeons & Dragons Rulebooks.
