Niko & the Sword of Light Tribute

Hi all :)

Bobby Chiu and his family at Imaginism Studios has combined forces with StudioNX to create an epic animated comic book called 'Niko & the Sword of Light'.

I was honoured to be invited to contribute a piece for the concept artbook. When I get the email and saw a cool character, awesome creatures, great animations & overall design, I jumped in straight away.

I think some independent productions are fresh & exciting and I personally think this will be a great one.. so please share and/or support this if you could. :)
