Asim A. Steckel

Freelance Senior Concept Artist / Vis Dev Artist

Asim A. Steckel is a Senior Concept and Visual Development Artist from Germany with over 12 years of experience in the entertainment industry. He began his career as a Graphic Designer before pursuing his passion for games and film through Game Art, eventually establishing himself as a versatile concept artist.


Asim worked in Germany before relocating to Canada to join Ubisoft Québec, contributing to projects including Immortals Fenyx Rising. Returning to Germany, he embarked on a freelance career, collaborating with clients such as Riot Games, 5th Column Studios, Genpop Interactive, and Hitzone. He currently works at Epic Games, where he continues to create compelling concepts and visual development for high-profile projects.

  • Asim and I worked together for several years on the full production of Immortals Fenyx Rising, where he brought countless vibrant fantasy environments to life. His keen design sense, mastery of light and color harmonies, and extensive 3D knowledge make him an exceptionally versatile concept artist. Beyond his talent, he is a passionate communicator and charismatic instructor, inspiring and engaging everyone around him.

  • I can say that Asim is not just an exceptional artist, but a true world-builder. The artworks that he produces are original and vibrant, and they drag you in and make you want to explore more. His work is important as it serves as the spark that drives entire projects; bringing the first visual ideas to the teams to align them to realize an epic version of his initial work in a game engine.

  • I really enjoyed my time with Asim on Immortals Fenyx Rising. Asim was one of our concept artists back then and it was easy working with him because he had a good attitude, was very receptive to feedback, and was always looking to improve his skills. In our concept artists group, he was one of my go-to guys when I had a special request or any complicated tasks. Asim is a true professional on every level.
