About Daniel Schmelling

After I found out about myself that I don’t want to pursue gardening as a profession anymore, I decided to try Art and Design.

I went to Berliner Technische Kunstschule(BTK) and at the fourth semester, I had Digital Illustration classes and there I found rather quick my dedication to environments, landscapes and scenery art. I also picked up concept art very fast and tried out many techniques, that I still use in my work today. Also Photography helped me a lot for the sense of composition and dynamic light.
I am heavily influenced by the concept artist, as well as the Art of Guild Wars/Guild Wars 2.

After graduating, I worked in a few small game companies as a environment concept artist and background artist doing concepts and also skyboxes of space nebulae.

Some time passed and I noticed, that I don’t feel at home working on games and for game companies and found book cover design. This is where I feel home and I do book cover design for various authors in Science Fiction and Fantasy since 2018.

First doing cover art only and then over time extending the horizon to ebook/paperback cover art and cover lettering/layout/typography. Today I extend my horizon to book interior design now and learning more about it to be able to do high quality book interior design and formatting services for my clients. Not there yet, but working on it.
