Nikolay Georgiev is a digital and traditional artist, born and raised in the southern town of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. From a young age, he clearly presented a strong interest in imaginative art, fantastical worlds, comics, animation and pop culture. He would draw on walls, and blame it on ghosts when caught, watch TMNT and Transformers cartoons on TV, read superhero comics and play with action figures, all of which left a strong impression during childhood.

Concept art, games, and the artistic community surrounding those proved to be an amazing source of inspiration and motivation, leading to a deep dive into digital painting, concept design, and illustration. Later on, these same artistic communities and fields of art rekindled Nikolay’s passion for traditional drawing and sketching. This led to purposeful illustrating, and combined with the passion for sci-fi and robots gave birth to Fuelstains.

Meeting with the SuperAni team in 2018, and watching Kim Jung Gi draw served as a huge boost of motivation and inspiration to Nikolay. That event, and joining SuperAni in 2019 are easily marked as the two events leading to the conception of this book.
