Luka Romel

Hai! I'm an associate artist specializing in lighting. I control the power of the sun!

Aside from all that, I was born and raised  in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and obtained my Illustration BFA from Parsons School of Design in NYC.  I've always had a thing for video games ever since I played tetris on the nes when I was 4. (upgraded to super mario world, clayfighter and donkey kong country around 7-8)  but I didn't really find out that you could actually get paid to make art (whoa!) for games until my junior year of college. From there I discovered the magical world of polygons. So while my illustration program provided me a traditional art background, I went to learn the ways of 3d programs and digital painting on my own..and now I am here! Some more fun facts about me are:

a few favorite games are: singularity, deadspace 2, borderlands, mass effect series, mortal kombat 2011, soul calibur, bioshock, fallout 3, shadow of the colossus, gears of war 2, portal 1+2, bayonetta, assasins creed 2, fable 3,  half-life series, left 4 dead, and the chess and go boardgames

I am a science fiction nerd but not in the star trek, star wars, stargate or battlestar galactica sort of way. Some of my favorite movies are Event Horizon, Alien, District 9, A Scanner Darkly, 12 Monkeys, and Pi.

I also like to listen to and make music a lot. I currently own a jp8000 synthesizer and an electribe esx sampler. A few choice musicians include: Converter, Haujobb, Moctan, Flying Lotus, Terry Lee Brown Jr., 5-fx, Somatic Responses and too many more.
