Overview

Welcome to my corner of the absurd! I'm Markilus, a professional illustrator and comic artist based in Switzerland, known for my love of quirky stories and timely delivery.

With a Bachelor's in Animation and a Master's in Design from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, I've honed my skills in my five years as a freelancer to specialize in bringing bizarre and fantastical stories to life. From cute monsters to surreal landscapes, I'm all about giving projects a touch of the extraordinary.

When we work together, you can count on smooth communication, prompt delivery, and a little humor along the way. Whether you need a stand-alone illustration or a full-blown comic book, I'm here to turn your ideas into captivating visuals.
