Nyco Rudolph – Designer

I'm an artist/illustrator/graphic designer. My art style is heavily influenced by retro movie posters and comic book illustration. No AI

Overview

Hey there!

Need someone to bring a retro flair to your book project? My art style is heavily influenced by mid 20th century poster design and comic books. Over the years, I've worked for a variety of clients with different budgets. I'm just as comfortable approaching projects with a collaborative spirit as much as I am working independently with little more than a series of prompt words.

My career highlights are illustration for the book "When Big Bears Invade", as well as providing dinosaur illustrations for the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta.

My signature full-colour, wraparound cover design package (front, spine and back) is $1200 CAD. Looking to get more or less work done? Reach out to me for a custom quote!

I have a strict policy against working with authors/clients who use AI for ANY stage of their work, be it brainstorming, writing, rewriting, or editing. Human Creativity for the win!

Working with Nyco was a dream. Great talent, great collaborator, and great balance between adapting to your ideas and contributing his own (always prioritizing yours over his). I thought I was asking for the impossible with my idea for a spicy futuristic comic-book style book cover. With his atte...

I've worked with several illustrators over the course on various project, and I want to say plainly: Nyco is the real deal.

This guy is the bee's knees. Understood my descriptions perfectly, like he was seeing right into my brain. Fun, and badass style. Has a real knack for drawing monsters. Professional and communicative and a cool dude. No notes.

Nyco was super easy to work with, very fast and responsive. He really brought my vision to life, and I'm so excited to use the artwork. Would definitely recommend and work with him again.

This was my second time working with Nyco for a book cover and he once again did a fantastic job! He's a delight to work with, committed to turning out the best work possible, and totally captured the spirit of the story. 10/10 would commission again
