Meike was highly influenced by Walt Disney’s feature classics
such as Aladdin and Pocahontas. CG Movies such as Tangled,
Frozen, or Wreck It Ralph were some of the reasons she
was inspired to pursue a career in animation.
After winning the Artist of the Month May 2016
by RebusFarm, her 3D character Little Mary was
published in the 3D World magazine, Issue 211, the
world’s best-selling magazine for CG artists.
After graduating from PIXL VISN media arts academy, Meike
was a finalist in the Rookie Awards 2014, which led to a job at
Dooblex, a studio for product visualization. While working full
time, she started taking commissions and slowly building her
own brand as an artist.
In 2019, Meike quit her job to freelance full time on
projects such as children’s book illustrations for Finni
& Fredo and My Best Book, artwork for Adobe, visual
development and character designs for the upcoming TV
show Coral Kins, as well as character designs for Paris
Hilton’s mobile game.
Meike Schneider is a 3D artist and
illustrator with a strong focus on
characters, based in Cologne,
Germany. She is probably best known
through Instagram and Tom Bancroft’s
MerMay. Her work includes children’s
book illustration, character design,
visual development, 3D character, and
environment modeling as well as look
development. Meike currently works as a
freelancer for various animation studios
and companies and as an instructor at
the School of Games in Cologne.
