Kim Hu – Designer

I am a freelance illustrator, concept artist and designer, inspired by huge cities, blinding neon lights, comic books, video games, monster movies and soda pops.

I received a Diploma for Design in 2011, and an MFA in 2021, and have been working in the creative field ever since, creating and visualizing projects together with clients from all around the globe. I have helped authors and game developers define and polish their fictional worlds, developing striking characters and environments, as well as one of a kind key art that is sure to catch a viewer's eyes.

In 2022 I received a BAFTA award for the videogame ROLLERDROME, for which I helped develop the visual aesthetic as a lead concept artist.

My work has been featured in press releases on places like KOTAKU, FORBES, or AFTERMATH, for which I also developed merchandise and key company artworks.

Currently I am working as a cover artist for Dark Horse Comics for the new Usagi Yojimbo: Kaito '84 series.

I am always looking for cool freelance projects which I can help support with visuals, and my favorite is to bring out the charm of the mundane through small off-beat slice of life situations in broken, yet beautiful, fictional worlds.
