About the Artist,
Kjell Bunjes
Hi there! My name is Kjell, born and raised in Germany. I am in love with visual effects for games! They are so important to make gameplay feel juicy, create magical environments and are just plain fun!

In 2018 I quit my job as a software developer to pursue my dream of doing freelance VFX work full-time in order to help indie studios create amazing game experiences. What can I say? I love every minute of it and hope that I will be creating the next VFX for YOUR game!

My sidekick Marble makes sure that I take breaks regularly to keep my working habit healthy. Her most useful tools include but are not limited to: moving back and forth in front of the screen and laying on the keyboard.

"Kjell was very professional and passionate about his VFX created for our game. His knowledge, skills and understanding of the game's needs allowed us to be confident about the outcome. Ultimately reliable! We will be working with Kjell for our future projects."

Jan Mysior

"The size of my project’s assets far eclipsed the scale and complexity I initially intended. This resulted in me requiring effects that would have been too much for a regular pixel artist to handle. Kjell managed to provide me with VFX that seamlessly fit my game!"

"Able to work out of his comfort zone and not shy of researching and aquiring new knowledge to fulfill the job! Communication is always smooth and the results were great. I hope to work with him in the future."
