2D Character Designer & Cartographer
« The foremost nerve of a project is the background story. Each character or map is born from ideas and comes alive through colors, shapes, and facial expressions. »
Hi, my name is Victor Velut. I am a French 2D Character Designer, Illustrator, and Cartographer based in Vienna.
If someone asks what I love creating the most, I will always say: facial expressions! But above all, the driving force behind each design is the worldbuilding and narrative context that gives depth to every silhouette.
Creative Focus & Disciplines
Character Design
Model sheets, turnarounds, facial expression boards, and distinctive character silhouettes for animation, video games, and publishing.
Fantasy Cartography
Handcrafted and digital maps for fantasy novels, tabletop RPGs, worldbuilding universes, private commissions, and eco-friendly NFTs.
Visual Development
Color keys, story exploration, thematic background art, and whimsical environmental research giving life to fictional realms.
Let's Bring Ideas to Life
I am always happy to take on freelance assignments, publishing commissions, and studio projects depending on current availability.
Whether you want to give life and personality to a new character, or need a detailed map for your universe, feel free to get in touch. It is always a pleasure to meet new people and collaborate on exciting ideas.
