Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I grew up playing video games, but only got into art after seeing fanart on a website called Tumblr, back in my wee Percy Jackson days. I took up some classes to refine my foundations at Syn Studio back in 2019, and found out about a role called Concept Art. That's when I realised I really liked the prospect of such a job!
Whilst finishing a degree in architecture, I happened to play Deus Ex: Human Revolution, which opened my eyes to how video games were fast becoming the next great frontier for storytelling. Experiencing these immersive environments, cutting-edge visual effects & engaging gameplay, made me want to join in and meaningfully contribute somehow; as well as combining my passion for design, history and art.
After a life time of drawing and doodling for myself as a hobby, I participated in my first Inktober challenge in 2018. As I discovered the other amazing artists participating in these types of challenges it dawned on me that it is possible to have a career in art where you engage in story telling and world building, and possibly even having an impact on the people who view your work.
When I was in college completing an illustration major, it was during the release of some stunning triple As titles such as Horizon Zero Dawn and Destiny2. Not only is their visuals compelling, the world-buildings behind these titles are equally stunning. I was curious about how the ideas are made and then being translated into visuals, and discovered concept in the process. It is very rare to find an occupation that is both challenging and joyful.
