Biographie

Je joue essentiellement à Shadowrun. Mais je ne joue plus très souvent (mars 2016) depuis que l'illustration est ma profession.

Mon boulot principal dans le marché du dessin, c'est de l'illustration de couverture de livres qui n'ont rien à voir avec les JdR. Mes dessins personnels, par contre, sont assez parlants (manifestement) pour que beaucoup de rôlistes s'identifient à eux. Je ne vis pas entièrement du JdR, comme déjà mentionné, mon principal revenu vient de l'illustration de couverture, la publicité et la vente de mes propres dessins. Je fais des contrats privés comme à-côtés et la plupart des prix (même de gros éditeurs de JdR) sont les mêmes que pour des amateurs privés. Je ne fais pas de différence à ce niveau, je décide simplement ce qui est le plus agréable à faire et si j'ai le temps de le faire.

A tous :
Oliver Wetter is a German artist and a web citizen. He is a networker and creates worlds out of briefings, his solution oriented work attitude leads to great visual appeal. After graduating in Airbrush-design 2007 at the Arts Center IBKK in Bochum / Germany he has specialized in creating compelling book cover art, editorials & genre art, preferable character driven and portrait related.

Since then he worked for big publishing houses and enjoys to collaborate directly with authors and creative directors. Oliver is published in magazines like Heavy Metal, ImagineFX and Advanced Photoshop Magazine, annual artbooks from Ballistic publishing & Ilex press and in his spare time he runs a successful blog about art marketing (http://fantasiox.blogspot.com).

Currently "Ars Fantasio" is located in Germany, but virtually connected with international talent to collaborate on projects if required. Oliver is experienced with conducting working relationships via phone and email, his mother tongue is German but he speaks and writes English fluently.

His diverse body of work is the result of different demands and the conviction that boredom hardly leads to remarkable results. Clients include: Bastei Lübbe, Weltbild, Piper, Prime Books and Klett Cotta - Hobbit Press.

Olivers work was awarded with an "Excellence award" in artbook Exposé #8 (Ballistic) featured with „14“ daily deviations on deviantart.com.
