My Bio

Hello, good people of planet Earth and beyond, and welcome to my deviantART gallery.

My name is Michelle, and I'm a Norwegian concept artist and illustrator. I studied Computer Graphic Art at the Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark for 3 years, and it was an absolutely amazing place to be. Afterwards I worked a couple of years as a concept artist at MPC Advertising in London, which was a great experience. I am currently working as a freelance concept artist and illustrator.

I have a passion for fantasy art, though I like to explore as many different subjects as possible. If I'm not drawing or working, I can usually be found running around in the mountains with my dog, enjoying a good fantasy book, spending time with my wonderful friends, reading scientific articles, gaming all night, or drinking tea. I love tea. As in being perfectly capable of consuming 3 liters of it in a day, should I feel like it.

Regarding commissions: Feel free to contact me if you're interested in commissioning me. You can either send me a note here on dA, or send me an email at michelle.tolo@hotmail.com. Be aware that I do not work for free, and this also includes "possible profit if a project succeeds".

That being said, I hope you will enjoy my work. Thank you for visiting :) (Smile)

The Bachelor film I worked on together with a wonderful team at the Animation Workshop is finally released! So if you're in the mood for some laughter, tears and a lot of cookies, then check out Grandma's Hero!I did mostly backgrounds and compositing on the project, as well as handling the colour script and designing the dragon :) Enjoy!

Now that my time at the Animation Workshop is almost over, I thought it would be nice to give a little update on where I'm heading afterwards. I've been spending my third and final year of the education together with my team, working on a 2D animated short film called Grandma's Hero. You can check our production blog here if you want to see some little snippets from it! It's less than 2 weeks until the film will be done (which means that it's crunch time now!), although it will not be released online until January/February next year. I've had a lot of fun during the project, although it has been a bit stressful at times with many differe...

Happy Birthday, Michelle! Refreshing Cake with candles 50x50 icon

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great one!

I notice you’re from Norway! I visited there years ago. A lot of history!I was really impressed with its mountains and fjords!



I've found that a lot of people here in the U.S. don't know much about their own country, much less anyone else's.  :(



I post prayer updates about different countries. Part of the reason is to raiseawareness about what's going on in the rest of the world. If I notice someone on DA  is from another country, If I've done their country I let them know. Its my way of letting them know that others are thinking about their home. :)



This update is about your home!

All of your work is amazing! Rainbow Hurl



I really enjoyed the vampire one just now! (I am also a fan of the Anne Rice novels, although I haven't finished them all!)

Your every artwork eventually becomes my wallpaper🔥, such an amazing gallery🥵👀

I think this person is stealing your work:



A Breath Of Fury And Service

They did indeed! I've reported them now. Thank you for notifying me!
