My name is Cyrill Reyes (Sigh-Rill, Ray-ess) and I’m a Filipino-American digital illustrator based in Schiller Park, Illinois. For as long as I had a pencil in my hand, I loved challenging myself in different genres that my peers never drew. Complementing my love for games, such as Club Penguin, Team Fortress 2, and Death Stranding, I was drawn to the complexity of their background art. Further reinforced with a BFA in Illustration, I’ve centered my practice on environmental concept art and background painting for games and media. Recalling my teamwork mentality from my Hockey years, I found enjoyment in being the “support” of the team— providing environments for the characters others draw to strengthen the overall project. My tenacity and commitment to the craft ensure that every art asset is made, sent promptly, and is unforgivingly cool.
While I’m not deep in the flow state, I enjoy listening to artists like Jesse Barrera, A Day to Remember & SF4AM, praying for another Stanley cup for the Chicago Blackhawks, adding more hours to my Team Fortress 2 playtime, or cooking 50 Spam Musubis in one day.
I'm open to internships, mentorships, and part-time and full-time opportunities.
