Leo Chiola
Storyboard & Comic artist
Montreal, Quebec, CanadaBonjour!
I began my career in 2016 as a freelance comic artist and illustrator. In 2017, I joined the animation studio Boulder Media, owned by Hasbro, to work as a character designer on the animated TV show, Transformers: Cyberverse.
In August 2019, I settled in Canada where I worked for more than 3 years as a full-time concept and comic artist for Digital Dimension Entertainment Group, developing the art of exciting, brand-new animated TV series.
I'm now working as a full-time storyboard artist at Gearbox Software.
