Aleksi Briclot
Aleksi Briclot develops characters, universes and stories through images. He previously worked on comic-books released in the European market as well as some US comics books (two Spawn graphic novels for Todd MacFarlane). He’s currently working on a really cool and ambitious graphic novel side project based on a true story involving killer whales. Aleksi also did illustrations for book covers (R.A. Salvatore), comic-books covers (Marvel’s Annihilation: Conquest, New Avengers) and several card game illustrations (Magic: The Gathering, Hearthstone). Additionally, Briclot worked on concept art for videogames (Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Cold Fear…) and thought that it would be exciting to create his own videogame. Briclot co-founded the studio Dontnod Entertainment which produced Remember Me and Life Is Strange. Briclot has worked on a dozen Marvel Studio projects including Thor: Ragnarok, Captain Marvel, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, amongst many others.
