The Art of Niko


Artist: Charles Santoso

Check out the ANIMATED TRAILER for the NIKO project on kickstarter



If you buy the Art of Niko book from Kickstarter, it will probably be the only way to get it signed by the team (Bobby Chiu, Kei Acedera, Jim Bryson and Adam Jeffcoat).

Thanks to everyone that came to check out our FULLY ANIMATED COMICBOOK project "Niko and the Sword of Light" last week! It was an overwhelming response and we are quite touched.
As many of you know we are developing an 'Art of Niko' book with some amazing guest artists. Here's one of them!
