EFFLAM MERCIER

Efflam Mercier is a French-American Freelance Concept Artist who is currently working at Riot Games. Efflam has been working alongside a hand full amount of company as a Concept Artist/Designer as well as an Illustrator at companies such as Cube Creative, Unit Image, Iron Sky Universe, Wizards of the Coast, even 20th Century Fox itself! The talented artist himself is born on April 8th, 1996 who is currently only 20 years old. Efflam started attending an Industrial Design high school at a very young age for the duration of 3 years, which had gave him a head start on the industry that he's looking forward to even earlier than others.

Efflam's style of art is more focused on realistic art, which is one of my favourite ways of creating conceptual art. Efflam's art may contain techniques such as matte painting. Matte painting is my favourite technique of painting, which is today's modern technique of creating a traditional matte painting in the entertainment industry back in the day. The artist needs to digitally paint a photo-realistic photo with help of an actual photo that has been taken or searched online.

Efflam is someone I am able to look up to due to the field of job that he is working on as well as referencing him as a great artist for what I'm looking for. Efflam's art style fits to my needs academically (as research) as well as tutoring myself.
