Aloha! My name is Alexander Thümler. I‘m known as “miNze“. I‘m a concept artist and illustrator working in the field of games and movies. This is the website of my bachelor's thesis “AT OL”.
Nowadays there is no computer game or movie being produced without visual planning. This is known as “concept art”. For each project, concept artists produce hundreds of sketches and paintings in order to develop worlds that fascinate in cinemas and consoles. In many cases the artwork finds its way into “Art of-“ books, becoming accessible to a public audience.
The “Art of-“ book AT OL- shows the development of a fantasy world in which water had been banned. Seas, lakes and rivers rose up in the air and the world turned into an uninhabitable desert. The last sanctuary of all life: oases, which are created by giant water fountains rising from the depth of the earth into the sky. Besides dozens of illustrations this book also contains the legend of the brothers At and Ol, who follow their destiny to change the world’s future.
To date AT OL is only available in German, but I plan to translate the story into English, too! Have fun diving into the world of AT OL! Feel free to send me comments and critiques to
