Overview
Hi, I'm Henriette, a freelance artist from Germany and I love good stories, intriguing characters and unexpected twists. Combining my painting skills with your storytelling I create alluring covers and illustrations. I come from a background in project management, freelance work for game development and fine art tieing together reliability, ingenuity and a realistic painting approach.
I offer:
- Cover Art
- Interior Illustration
- Cartography
My clients value my ability to bring their visions to a point. For covers, I achieve this by focusing on the atmosphere of the story, thinking of the target audience and adding just enough information to spark the imagination and curiosity of the viewer. I am very transparent about my process and along the way I provide you several choices and tips on creating a best selling cover.
I would like to focus my future work on art and illustration only. This means that another designer will do the layout, title fonts etc. This will allow me to stay passionate about your project and have a quicker turnaround.
You'll find me here, with a cat on my lap awaiting the next painting adventures.
