My Bio

Hello, my name is Kenan Brack but professionally I am known by my other moniker: Nytmaer.


Having lacked the capacity to draw comics, I found inspiration for other types of art which included digital, photography and others.


"My art is but a sliver in time as viewed through a mirror. Therefore it is to say that my work is often a frozen self-reflection."


You might be wondering what my stylistic influences are?


Well to answer that I'll just come out and say it. I'm a nerd at heart. I am a sci-fi, fantasy, 80's and 90's media, anime, comic fan and have been since I was young. I was an early adopted of anime and manga even when many would not know it's embrace for years to come.


I grew up loving the concept of a virtual existence as it could be considered another canvas upon which to lay a brush. I seek to spend more time recording my experiences in the virtual world as one can find me either on Steam VR or Oculus. My skills therefore lie in the capture, recognition and display of a little bit of myself (or others) inside the virtual worlds that I inhabit. Warframe being a prime example.


In the real world I am many things. Photographer, award winning screenwriter, Youtuber, author and entrepreneur and most importantly; father.


I don't create art in the sense of line drawings from scratch. My skills lie in digital editing, cinema, writing, photography and various degrees of specific object arrangement. What I have learned to do with those skills is combine them into my own style of art. For the record; I'm not always the artist of every piece of work. There have been numerous projects where I used a third-party such as Eiko, TSR or TND. Other projects such as anything bearing the term KEN.AI


I try to post every so often but If you like my work and want to see more, I'll post more often.

Speaking as both Kenan and Nytmaer. This is my official stance on the subject of AI Art. (Note: I know a lot of close friends and professional acquaintances that have taken the Anti-AI stance, so this is a hard issue for me on a personal level) Capitalism is a major problem for artists, as it forces them to create art primarily for financial gain rather than for the love of the craft. This is unfair and goes against the true purpose of art, which should be for the benefit of the world and expression of ideas rather than for personal profit or as an only means of survival. As an artist, I remember creating my earliest works with pure joy and excitement, and I think of my daughters doing the same. But under capitalism, our efforts become work rather than a form of self-expression. Some artists are afraid of the democratization of art because they worry about the financial implications, while others are more concerned about losing the feeling of specialness that their art gives

There's always room to grow. Sometimes you want to make yourself out to be greater than you are, but that's not always a bad thing. Truth be told, I'm not really as high on myself as my posts would lead you to believe. I believe in self promotion but I don't think that I'm better than anyone. I believe in my own greatness as a rule(because the opposite would be believing that I'm mediocre). So I'm going to stop sounding so pretentious to try and get attention and do what I've always done. Come up with unique pieces of art, whether, inspired by me, created by me, or through some others means *cough* AI *cough* I'm going to do my best to live up to my own standards. I invite any interested parties to come along. 2023 is going to be a ride.

Why did your company appear? I'd be lying if I didn't say Capitalism, but there's another deeper reason. All my life I've wanted to be an artist and I struggled over the years to find a place in the visual space. With years of experience in both photography, photo editing and working with artist; I finally found my niche and with that, comes the opportunity to share my works with the world at large. How did your product idea appear? Once you realize that you are starting to produce some fine images after a fair share of processing and a ton of trial and error, you start to believe that this…looks…good. Somebody will pay for this. A two sided benefit appears; one side is that someone will pay for it; the other side is that the creator will be recognized for their effort. Recognition creates value. What is your message to the world? Never give up on your dreams. No matter how hard it seems; keep striving for the moon. You only fail when you quit. You can
