Who Is Derek Leduc?

I am a graphic designer, illustrator and 3D artist who is constantly looking for new and interesting projects to embrace. I've built a reputation around darker illustration and clean designed presentation, and most of my personal pieces tend to deal around the macabre. I take a particular interest in video games and visual storytelling, and am serious only in my work and delivering the best product I can.

My passions bound between my art, gaming (Video games, table top, board games, etc, but particularly Fighting Games), Heavy Metal, and Movies. I enjoy dark/gallows humour particularly in film and television (Army of Darkness, Breaking Bad) and am often using them as mediums of study.

I am also heavily interested in game design, particularly the choices made in bad games and terrible sequels. Often times I find hints of genius or madness that could have been so much better, and are left to the way-side, hoping to be re-discovered and have their possibilities realized.

I tend to follow gaming pop-culture as well, a consistent follower of Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation on The Escapist, and MovieBob's Game Overthinker series on Screwattack.

So that's me in a nut shell... Wait, someone let me out, I can't breathe in here! Help!
