"I am a Berlin-based freelance illustration artist. I started my freelance career after a few years of experience in the advertising agency. Today, I continue being actively involved in advertising projects, but also enjoy participating in other art-related projects and areas like newspaper, magazine and book illustration.

During my office and freelance careers, I have illustrated for such clients as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Greenpeace, Fujitsu, Samsung, Nivea, Babybel, Hapag-Lloyd Express, Weru and many more. Recently, I have been frequently collaborating with Die Zeit newspaper and Ravensburger.

I work with pencil and ink as well as digitally. I like to mix techniques until it becomes impossible to pinpoint where one technique ends and another begins.

Please visit my website if you would like to see more of my artwork."

"I produce comic book-styled illustration for advertising agencies and their clients, editorially for consumer and trade magazines, and promotionally for any and all usages.

I create custom-designed superheroes for companies and corporations, and custom superhero portraiture, in which I maintain both the photographic likeness and the comic book look to find your inner superhero!

My backgrounds in illustration, graphic design, art direction and copywriting, combined with expertise in and enthusiasm for the comic book medium and its rich history, produce imagery that stands out from the crowd of conventional illustration and photography."

Daniel Sian is a Brazilian CG artist and creative retoucher who has been working in the advertising industry for over 10 years with clients in Brazil, Peru, the USA, Dubai and New Zealand.

During this time he has been improving his techniques for creating, manipulating and composing images of the most varied levels of complexity, with an artistic look and attention to the smallest details.

"As advertising has no limits in the creative field, the artist is invariably pushed to their technical and artistic limits, since each new work is always based on a new idea - which can be anything and therefore quite challenging. Because of this I have developed skills at all stages of CGI/ retouching production, from concept to post-production."
