Mélanie Delon

Mélanie Delon is a freelance illustrator who lives in a small town near Alençon in Normandy, France. She creates illustrations for book covers, has worked for many publishing houses around the world and has created concept art for the video game industry, alongside work for magazines specialising in 2D art. In 2007 she published her first artbook, Elixir 1, a collection of illustrations with short stories, followed by a second volume in 2010. The worlds she creates through her illustrations are based on fantasy, her favourite subject, but she always adds a touch of classicism and romanticism, as mixing styles brings more realism to the painting. After studying History of Art and Archaeology at the Sorbonne, she went to a 3D school where she discovered digital illustration, and began working freelance in 2005. In 2012 she founded her own publishing house and shop, Exuvia, under which she released her third artbook, Opale 1, in 2014. She has taught digital painting at CGMA since 2017. For Blue Angel Publishing she illustrated The Queen Mab Oracle, The Oracle of the Vampire Fae and Dragonlings Oracle.
