Max Lim

 

My name is Hyunwoo Lim (MAX LIM). I got interested in art, particularly in becoming a concept artist. I thought that the profession seemed so fun and interesting because it was able to make every illusion and fantasy and go between past and future. I have worked at Korean animation and game companies, and I eventually moved to San Francisco to attend the Academy of Art University where I majored in Animation Visual Development. Since graduation, I have worked as a concept designer at Lucasfilm, Gree, and Disney interactive and now I am working as an Art Director and freelance concept artist. Here you will find samples of professional and personal artworks

Specialties: Variety, Creative and innovative concept design, compelling storyboards and visual narrative, stylish digital illustration, 3D modeling skill
