Theonidas is a versatile artist with a passion for bringing creativity to life in various styles, genres, and mediums. With a strong foundation in illustration, they've left their mark on the gaming, film, publishing, educational and tech industries. Their work has included eye-catching billboard sized movie posters for films like "Mitchell's VS the Machines" and "Across the Spider-Verse" to traditionally painted commissions, including fine art projects for the CEO of Riot Games himself! Their adaptability shines as they seamlessly blend digital tools like Blender, and Photoshop into their artistic history of traditional mediums like Acrylic, Oil and Watercolor. In gaming, Theonidas has lent their talent to iconic projects like League of Legends and Magic: The Gathering, creating captivating illustrations ranging from dark, moody scenes to epic vistas teeming with charismatic characters. Their artistry has breathed life into new worlds, often working directly with legendary creators, including their first feature film project working under Aaron Blaise, or the Jack Frost picture book with William Joyce.
