My name is Philipp Höhnel and I am a Belfast-based Senior Concept Artist in the Film/TV and Games industries. I'm an accredited member of the British Film Designers Guild and available for freelance/contract work as well as full-time in-house positions as needed. You can reach me via my mail address or phone number found above.
My most recent credit/project is MGM's Viking series Bloodaxe, to which I contributed environment concept art, set designs, as well as location paintovers while working on-site in Dublin (Production Designer: Frank Walsh). Prior to that I worked on First Woman, a thriller science fiction TV series by UK television network ITV for which I designed interiors, props and vehicles. It was filmed at Belfast Harbour Studios using the facility's brand new Virtual Production (VP) LED volume (Production Designer: Gillian Devenney).
In the games industry I have worked as a concept art lead and manager at The Multiplayer Group, a British outsourcing studio for games that has helped develop major titles such as Overwatch 2, Call of Duty MW2, Fall Guys and more. Before that I was a Concept Artist at Ubisoft, where I designed environments, characters and props for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Frontline and The Crew Motorfest.
