Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I was in the middle of my military service when I decided I had to really go for something I loved. As a Mechanical Engineer and then later an Aircraft Mechanic I realized I was not happy. I love art and video games. They helped me get through some of the hardest times and taught me more about life than anything else. When I found out I could combine both passions into a career I knew where my next journey was going to be.
Inspired by various animated shows and illustration, with a keen interest to learn about art, I decided to take up this challenge and pursue the course Animation and 3D Arts during Ngee Ann Polytechnic. I learnt lots of valuable lessons and interesting knowledge in different aspects of art. However, during my internship and working as a junior artist, I become more aware of my goals and decided to pursue as a motion & graphics designer.
I’ve always been influenced by media while growing up; manga and anime had been a huge inspiration. After learning more about the creative industry in recent years, I immediately went back to school to pursue this path. I am constantly looking for new things to learn and improve to make this once hobby my livelihood.
Unfortunately, I don't have those cool stories where people knew they wanted to work in this industry since they were young. But what I do recall, is enjoying making doodles of things from games, films, or just my imagination but just as a fun little hobby. So when I was presented with an opportunity to join a winter boot camp for 3DSense Media School in Singapore, I got curious and decided to try giving it a go. It was after that boot camp, that I realized that I wanted to do this for a living.
I have always liked drawing and painting but I wasn't sure if there was a viable career in the field . I always remember loving Stanley Lau's works . So in 2018 I decided to join his course to better my art skills and hopefully become some sort of an artist . It was only in 3dsense media school that I understood more about the entertainment art industry and started developing the skills necessary to head towards the direction of a concept artist and illustrator .
I've always loved watching cartoons, films and telling stories since I was a young boy and always spoke about them with more passion than my peers. It was after my 'O' levels when I found out that Nanyang Polytechnic offered a course on Animation and I decided to give it a shot. What I have learnt in my time there solidified my ambitions and I honestly think I will never be able to work in another industry.
I enjoyed making crafts step by step since I was young. I like the satisfaction when I create something and I find art interesting because It touches our heart without touching us physically. I started to wonder why we could feel emotion when we look at different kinds of art. So that made me want to explore more about the creative media and design industry. I decided to work in the entertainment industry because it’s always evolving and interesting.
I didn't know the existence of design until I entered polytechnic. As I learned more about design, little did I realized I actually do like doing design. When I entered 3dsense media school, I was brought into a world of motion design, where it was my first journey in creating my motion design animation. Which inspires me to work in the creative media and create amazing motion design.
After I graduated with a graphic design degree, I stumbled on 3d work. After experiencing what 3D is capable of, I have been awed by all the amazing works and i've wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry ever since. Which led me to enrolled in 3dsense media school in Singapore in order to fulfil my dream of working in the industry.
I’ve always been interested in art since I was a kid and wanted to pursue a career as an illustrator or animator. Having motion in our artwork is like giving life into it. It’s very fun, interesting and challenging at the same time. After finishing business school, my mom encouraged me to pursue art and I was led to 3dsense's mograph course. I enjoyed my time there and really appreciate the teachers' guidance and patience. It also helped me cement my passion and desire to be in this industry.
When I was a young boy, my father took me to the cinema to watch my first Disney film which was Tarzan at that time. It kind of inspired me to want to be able to join this industry in the future. As I grew up I got exposed to 3D games & films and it made me want to be able to do something like that too.
I always wanted to be an artist since Kindergarten. I was also absolutely in love with movies. Inspired, I would get lost in my own world, drawing things from my imagination. At 18, I still wanted to pursue art as a career and thankfully, my parents allowed me to decide for myself. As I looked around for art schools, I learnt that I it was possible to earn a living making animated films. It was exactly what I wanted, I could tell stories that shaped cultures and people!
I grew up watching sailormoon and pokemon during my childhood days and have fallen in love at how cartoons brought joy and laughter to people. After entering polytechnic, I entered a course of Digital interactive Media and get the chance to learn basic skills relating to the media industry. Since then I have always wanted to be involved in making a film or game and hope that people will enjoy what they have seen or play.
I have always been in love with gaming and drawing since I was young. It was around my O levels that I decided that I wanted to pursue a job doing what I love - which was making art for games. Despite the advice from my teachers a career in art was not realistic, I persevered and enrolled in LASALLE College of the Arts and 3DSense Media School, where my passion as a game artist was strengthened.
Ever since I was young, I found myself being attracted to digital arts and video games. The cinematic trailers were surreal and I never knew the process of creating it. I studied graphic design for three years and did matte painting as a hobby. I then realised my 2D skill is not enough for me to step foot into the game industry and I even applied for BA in Games Design. It didn't work out well as all I really wanted to do was to create game characters/assets, not designing the game itself.
