Maxim Mitenkov – Designer

I am professional digital artist and illustrator specialized in book covers design and illustrations with over twenty years of experience.

Overview

I am a digital artist and illustrator specialized in book covers design and illustrations. With over twenty years of experience in digital arts, half of them dedicated exclusively to creating illustrations and covers for the international publishing market.


I’m specializing in book covers and illustrations, though I also do an illustration for video and board games, matte painting for cinema etc. Major clients include a HarperCollins Children Books and McGraw-Hill Ryerson.


When I work on a specific project the idea of future illustration is very important to me. When I think of the idea, more often I can already see how it will look. So, when it comes to the idea to implement, I know what I need for this project. I can say that I’m not working too long on changes, trying to achieve what I saw in my imagination. Priority areas of work: surrealism, emotions, dark art. I will try to make your project memorable, bright, original.

Max created an image for the cover of my book that brought to life the climax of the story. In some ways, his vision exceeded my own. I even made some changes to the book based on his work. I am very pleased with the final outcome.

Maxim was fantastic, he came up with a great concept for the book. Executed it to a wonderful standard. I had a few suggestions and he implement them. He was professional and easy to talk to and when there was a misunderstanding, I hadn't made what I was asking for as clear as it could have been, Maxim sorted it out quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend him and his work.
