Hi !
I am Lou Thoby, aka Loukae!
I am a french freelance 3D + 2D artist, specialised in visual and look development, as well as an illustrator.
Even if I’ve been in love with art for as long as I can remember, my spark for images really came to life when I got into digital painting, a few years ago.
Since then, I discovered new interests in various forms of expression, including cinema, live or animated, illustration, and all the other possibilities that comes during the process of making images.
In the industry, I particularly love to develop various and original art directions, and to find new ways to translate them into production.
