Welcome in my website, my personnal art gallery. I exhibit here some researchs, some illustrations.

My name is Xavier Marquis, I was born in 1974 in France. I was student in french university of History. At 23 I left my town Angers to live in Paris and start my professional life. I worked for C+ (A canal+ company) for a short time period and after for Cadm 3 years as web Designer. In 2002, I started in a new way with my first job in the video game industry for Delphine Software. My job was to model some environnement. In a second part I worked as character modeler for Quantic Dream and the game Farenheit. Contacted by a headhunter in England I changed totally my life with a first job accepted outside of France. In holland I worked 4 years for Eidos (1 year) first and Sony (3). My first mission was as marketing artist dedicated to work in high resolution. Slightly I changed of responsability to be concept designer as well and I had the luck to work for the Killzone Project.
So now I’m back in France since the 3rd ofbseptember 2007 to work as Art Director for Ubisoft and living full time with my wife and my children.
Thank you for visiting my website.
