Nalle Mielonen

Nalle Mielonen – Designer

A versatile cover illustrator with a passion for good storytelling, digital drawing and all things fantastical and weird!

Overview

Hi! I’m Nalle, a digital artist with a special interest in story and cover illustrations.

My work focuses on digital illustrations, especially digital painting and drawing. As a designer stories and visual narration are a special interest to me and cover and concept art, story illustrations and (movie) poster design are a special passion of mine.

I’ve worked as a freelance designer for several years. As such, I’m used to helping clients find the right design solutions for their project and for their budget. Knowing things such as the desired complexity level of the illustration, project resources, deadlines and other limits help me to form the best possible design plan for you. I’m very comfortable to ideate with you and create sketches right from the starting idea, but can just as easily jump in to execute a design following a well-developed plan.

I’m a laid back professional to whom reliability, open communication and speedy yet reasonable response times are some main tools to manage successful projects. I look forward to working and creating some great art with you!

This is my second time working with Nalle and my opinion is unchanged. He took an idea, built it out into a full cover, and gave me something that is perfectly suited to the genre and will catch a lot of eyes. Amazon threw us a few curves, as it seems to do more and more frequently, and he fielde...

Nalle was a joy to work with. He was professional, superbly artistic, quick to respond and creative. I advise all who need someone to create them a quality product to strongly consider hiring Nalle. He's highly skilled at what he does, is fair and will not disappoint.

Nalle delivered me an amazingly dark and atmospheric cover art perfectly fitting for a horror fantasy novel, and was perfectly cooperative and professional every step of the way. I have nothing to say other than he is absolutely an amazing professional to work with.

I selected Nalle for his gritty, distinctive style. His illustrations have a textured, raw quality that can help define a genre visually, which can give a sense of the tone and mood of your story from the cover art alone. His style is not generic or overproduced, which makes it especially desirab...
