Julien Lesne – Designer

Professional illustrator, I work mostly in publishing, doing book cover, and illustrations for games (board games, card games,...)

Overview

I’m a self-taught illustrator originally from Paris, France. I began my art journey 10 years ago by wanting to change my professional life and be more creative. Since then, I try to walk my way through a professional carrier in illustration. I specialize in book cover for genre fiction (fantasy, fantastic, horror, sci-fi,...) and illustration for games. My style is adaptable to both realism and cartoon.

My portfolio reflects what I like the most : painting, telling stories with my images to create in the viewer the need to pick up a book or a game. I worked with several independent publishers in the past few years and I'm still searching for a good match for my style.

If you are interested in my work, you can contact me for an estimate. A book cover will be done in generally between a month or two, depending on the technical complexity of the scene to depict.

Everything was outlined clearly in the quote I received and I could not hav...
