About the Aritst

Nicolas Demus is a 2D/ 3D artist who specializes in animation. He is also proficient in graphic design, 3D texture and lighting , and photography.

Born in Fontana, California, Nicolas Demus grew up in the small town of Tehachapi. From a young age, he knew he wanted to work in the entertainment industry. Closing himself off in his room, he would spend hours creating short Lego films.

As he continued through grade school, his best friend would introduce him to the works of Hayao Miyazaki. Mesmerized by the imagery and storytelling capabilities of Miyazaki's work, Nicolas began creating his own characters and writing short stories.

While attending the school for his B.S. in animation, he built on the stories he had developed in the past and began to elaborate on them. School also allowed him to explore his creativity in other ways. Picking up a camera, he sought to develop his artistic eye with both photography and videography.

As an artist, Nicolas seeks to show the world his imagination through a unique lense. His personal motto is, "live outside the box" and he constantly seeks to find new ways to express his creativity.
