I love games like Halo and universes like Warhammer 40k. Being able to put what I see in my mind into the world is why I love painting and designing. Seeing others inspired by the work I helped create is a great motivator.

I was searching for a work field that I would enjoy the most. At the time I was around 20 years old and while playing guild wars 2 I thought about what it would be like to be a concept artist. This started my passion for creating worlds and telling stories in a visual form. I fell in love with the media and how fun it was to create, so I have worked as hard as I can to get to where I am today.

Back to my college, I found myself have huge interest in animation. And during my college, I keep explore myself, then I figure I like 3D animation more than 2D animation. So I want to enhance my ability, then I entered sheridan college to study one year visual effect program, and I realize becoming fx artist is what my passion.

I am a visual artist fascinated with filmmaking and the VFX industry. I recently completed the Graduate Certificate in VFX and Computer Animation programs at Sheridan College, studying CGI and VFX filmmaking: filming, lighting, compositing, animating, modeling, rigging, and texturing in Maya, Houdini, Nuke, Substance Painter, Zbrush, and Nuke.

I first realized I wanted to work in this industry when I was in middle school! At first I didn't even realize that this was a career I could pursue! But once I found out, there was nothing that could stop me from practicing and embracing this artform completely.

I am 36 years old and have had a full career in theater. I started with stop motion as a hobby and moved into visual effects. Once I started doing 3D animation I knew that it was what I wanted to peruse full time. My career in theater comes in very handy as an animator. I am able to use that experience in acting and performance and bring it to my characters.

I've always had a passion for art! My mother would tell me she always knew I would be an artist because I was always drawing since the age of 2. Since then I've always been doodling in my notebooks in class. Eventually I pursued animation at the University of Technology Jamaica, then I decided to leave my home country and further my studies at Sheridan College in Canada where I currently reside.

I’m really a big fan of 3D art. Great shows always make people feel excited, it contains the ability of transferring happiness and feelings. I want to be one of them who can show positive attitudes towards the public:)

When I first opened a Harry Potter books at the age of seven.

My passion for the creative industries began with sketching and experimenting as a child. Design's power to communicate and shape experiences fascinated me, leading me to pursue it as a profession. I'm driven by bringing ideas to life, making a positive impact, and contributing my unique perspective and skills. The dynamic nature of this field excites me, pushing me to continuously learn, adapt, and push creative boundaries.

When I was in high school, I wanted to work in the creative industries.

I realized that I wanted to work in the creative field when I was watching anime as a kid. I was immersed in their worlds and their adventures inspired me to create my own stories and characters. I did not know about concept art as a job back then, but I already knew that this type of work was what I desired.

Ever since I was a kid I loved drawing and watching animations. Growing up I never fell out of my interest in art and animation but I also never really thought about working in the creative industries until high school.

In 2010 after seeing Tangled in theatres, specifically the scene in which the main characters sing against a sky of lanterns, the visual and emotional impact completely drew me in and I was convinced I need to learn how to create like this.

It was my first previewing day of short animation film at the high school.

As a kid, I loved creating stop-motion animation films. My parents encouraged me to submit to film festivals and that experience took me to so many new places in my life I never would have discovered otherwise. After undergrad, I attended the Gobelins summer school program and decided the animation industry was where I wanted to be. I love the art, I love the communities I've met through animation, and I love the endless opportunities to learn!

Ever since I was little, I started to take it more seriously when I turned 13. That was when Halo 3 came out and it inspired me to pursue creative media as a career.

I am a person who love independent music, animation and film art. I used to be a guitarist often shared music creation with rock band on stage, but I later discovered that character animation is an art that combines the rhythm of physical movement and emotional performance.

To be a great CG artist

My first education is classical painting. After I graduated, i realized, that it is really hard to say something within this medium and decided that my ideas are best to be expressed in animation.

from very young age

Back in high school, I started filming myself riding mountain bike and learning the editing software to piece the footage together. At that moment I began my journey in the digital media industry.
