About the artist

that's me Welcome to Eon Works - the art studio of Dawid Michalczyk. I have been working professionally as a freelancer and on-site artist since 1996. Professionally I work mainly within the Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Space genres for PC games, but I also do illustration for book/CD covers. I worked on-site at game studios in Norway and USA, and currently live in Denmark. For freelancing rates, availability and other questions please contact me by email.

I was born in early 1970s in Poland. Although my interest in visual arts has been with me since early age, I first started creating digital images in 1993 after several years of fascination with SF/Fantasy book covers and computer graphics from Amiga demos and games. In mid 1990s I got into 3D rendering, created a website and started posting my renderings online. They turned out to be better than expected so eventually I started freelancing. My career really took off in 1997 when I was hired to work full time as a 3D artist on "The Longest Journey", a PC adventure game developed at Funcom, Norway. Later I moved to USA to work on "Unreal 2" and other games at Legend Entertainment. Since 2004 I have been working on a freelance basis and supplementing my income with sales from personal artwork.

Currently I divide my time between freelancing and, increasingly so, personal art projects. The gallery contains examples of my commercial work, and personal artwork - most of which is available for sale in one form or another.

Besides art, my interests include health and nutrition, programming, European comics from the 70s and 80s, anthropology, and the paranormal.

Skills

Illustration, conceptual design, 2D and 3D rendering, texture painting, strong Photoshop and 3DS Max skills.
