RECOMMENDATIONS (EXCERPT)

Fabrice Weiß

Art Director Effective Evolutions

“I first met Felix when I was Art Director at Promotion Software […] In order to work on concepts of characters and game world I had to rely on his descriptions and […] he gives precise information about why he thinks it must look that certain way, he gives a mass of background information, everything an artist needs in order to create an own depiction of the asset. Also he is always open for counterproposals [...] Additional to that he combines passion, precision and strong social skills. For me it is always a pleasure to work with him and I can highly recommend him and his work. […]“

Malte M. Boettcher

Project Manager Promotion Software

“Felix is an extraordinary game-designer who has the ability to change someone’s perception of a scenery completely just by tweaking some buttons. He is highly devoted to the project he is working on and always goes "the extra mile". It is an honor to work with Felix. “
