Simone Grünewald

Hi I'm Simone Grünewald a story, character and visual development artist from Hamburg.

After I graduated from the Hamburg Technical Art School (HTK) in 2006 and the Hamburg Animation-School in 2008, she started working the Hamburg game company Daedalic Entertainment as Character Designer and Animator. From 2009 I continued to work there as Head of Art until 2018 and was able to put my creative stamp on the in-house game releases like " A NEW BEGINNING", the "DEPONIA" series, THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH, and many more.
Since the birth of my son I started to do freelance work from home and also started a Patreon. Now I could focus more on personal work and also create weekly tutorials on various art topics w. This resulted in two successful Kickstarters of books where I share my knowledge and process.

I've been fascinated by color and light in recent years and love to explore this topic with illustrations full of nature and storytelling.
