HI, I'M NICOLAS WEIS
I’m a visual development artist and concept artist with over 17 years of experience creating images for the entertainment industry. Over the years, I’ve contributed to projects and collaborations connected to studios such as DreamWorks, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, Skydance, Sega and Warner, developing work that brings together shape, atmosphere, storytelling, and design clarity. Â
After spending more than a decade working in American animation studios in Los Angeles, I returned to France and continued building worlds through drawing, design, and visual exploration. My background includes feature animation, development work, and concept-driven worldbuilding, with credits and project associations that include titles such as How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods, Astroboy, and Sonic Boom. Â
