  • Jannis [is] friendly, open, engaged, and proactive. He always looked to provide the best work possible using his considerable skill set, knowledge, and experience, and made a major contribution to the project he was working on [at Axis Studios].

  • Jannis is a unicorn in that he is both exceptionally creative and also exceptionally skilled; his ability to think outside the box and apply that creative love of world-building to his work really shines through. While many concept artists can produce functional production art, Jannis produces beautiful and detailed pieces in the same timescale. I can't recommend him enough and believe he's an asset to anything he works on, deeply skilled, ultra-creative, supremely committed, and very responsible. 10/10.
