Yes, I'm THAT
Denis Loubet.

You may know me from such award winning computer games as the Ultima and Wing Commander series, as well as table-top games like Car Wars and Champions.

I've done everything from box cover paintings to in-game 3D animations.

I've worked for Origin Systems, KingsIsle, Steve Jackson Games, Hero Games, and many others.

I co-founded Iron Will Games and Pixelmine Games.

Now I want to work directly for my fans.
