The Studio

Built for the craft

Velum Studio is the creative practice of Fabian Parente — a professional fantasy illustrator with over a decade working with the publishers who define the genre.

What began as a freelance practice serving the industry's major names has evolved into a full-service studio for publishers who understand that exceptional art isn't an expense — it's the product.

We don't decorate games.
We build the worlds they're set in.
