My name is Nicholas Lim. I'm a professional concept designer available for freelance or full-time work on concept art and illustrations. Contact me via notes or email:

nicholaslim.art@gmail.com









Concepts and illustrations for vehicles, props, characters, creatures, environments. Explanatory callout sheets, orthographic diagrams, production paintings, material reference, UI rough layouts, mood boards, storyboards.

I work only if there is a legal binding contract which is decided after negotiating rates, work duration, deliverables, image formats, and other important details. Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) may also be signed.

If my work is to be used elsewhere (e.g. promotional and marketing purposes), please make mention of it, as it shall affect the rates.

I commence work after receiving a portion (usually half the total amount for the job) of the fee. I will attach a watermark on each in-progress image where appropriate or send a low resolution file for each milestone.

Revisions and changes during the concept phase can be done up to certain amount. There is no room for endless revisions.

Potential clients will need to carefully but quickly approve each milestone before progressing to the next stage. Communication is key.

- Completed files can be sent via email, but larger files can be sent via Dropbox or a file transfer service of the client's choosing.
