MARC PETRELIS

I'm a concept artist, illustrator, and beginner at 3D character/creature artist modeler, raised in South Africa and currently creating within Cape Town and Internationally. My inspirations stretch between science fiction and myth; from mythological beasts and cryptids to zoology, ecology, and speculative biology.

Specializing in creature design and character building, though equally enjoying creating the environments in which these monsters, species, and spirits live; helping to make them and their surroundings feel believable, intrinsic, and occasionally too close for comfort. I'm familiar with software like Krita, Photoshop, and Blender but often mix the use of software for the desired outcomes.

I'm always striving to reach quality outcomes rather than quantity as I have a strong imagination and can help others carry out their ideas and concepts, However, this often requires clear instructions as I think sometimes it's difficult for others that want to express their creativity but are not equipped with the necessary tools and know-how with expressing their idea exactly to another human being. I try and make it easy by listening intensively and enthusiastically as I want to help all creatives achieve their desired product, it might just need a bit of concept development to reach that final outcome.
 

In my free time, I enjoy developing my own worlds and concepts, which hopefully, will see the light of day in the public space one day.
