Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists

I started taking art seriously in 2022, but my passion for it began in childhood through participating in local drawing competitions. While concept art is a relatively recent pursuit for me, my influences have long been established icons such as Walt Disney, Stan Lee, Satyajit Ray, and Miyazaki. Witnessing their work has instilled in me a desire to someday create my own imaginative world.

I always enjoyed anime and games since I could remember but never realize till very late in the middle of a mentorship i had when i was studying jewelry design my mentor said that I shouldn't pursue jewelry as it does not suit me and that the job for illustration and designing games existed! If not culinary. After I started playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild late in 2020 I knew that I want to go into this industry as the game made me love games all over again.

I loved drawing as a kid, and I kept doing it throughout the years because it was fun playing with different ideas, and rewarding to actualize these ideas into a drawing. I realized I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry when I realized that I could put the skillset I developed to use and make a living from it. As a person that attains fulfilment from solving problems visually, I think this industry is one that I can contribute to, and thrive in.

Around the age of 10~13 I had gotten really into video games, and had poured 100s of hours into them. Back then I didn't know about the existence of the creative media and entertainment industry but I knew I wanted to make things like the games I was playing, leading me down the path of art and finding out about the industry.

While studying industrial design in uni, i took a visual communication design mod that allowed me to dabble in some simple animation projects. This rekindled a passion i had for animation when i was a young kid.

I pretty much always knew that I wanted to be in the creative media and entertainment Industry! After completing a gruelling 4 years of engineering, I knew for sure that art, drawing and animation are my true passions and what I wanted to pursue and make a career out of! I am going to be in the July 2022 batch of the Concept Design and Illustration Course in 3dsense Media school to cement my dedication of becoming a professional artist!

When I was about 5 my uncle showed me Diablo on his PC and I instantly fell in love. From then on I got fascinated with games, who made them and how did they make them. Since then I have been trying to self teach myself art and programming. Went to polytechnic and got into the course I wanted. Now I am just trying my best to break into the industry and improving myself.

When I was working as a lab technician, I realize that I have more interest and passion in doing digital arts and animation to gain better skills and knowledge. My goal is to create more artwork and animation in the industry in the future.

I've always self-taught to draw realistic pencil drawing for four years since middle school and I am deeply interested in adding small details. One day I found Adam Fisher on YouTube and his magnificent 3D sculpting. I realized we share the same realistic art, but he's a 3D artist. I decided I want to focus on 3D art and from that moment, I set my goal to polish my talent in the entertainment industry.

I have always loved games since I was a child and always wondered how they were made. I joined the Digital Animation Club in secondary school and fell in love with 3D art. That's where I knew that I wanted to work in the game industry!

A few years ago I was gifted a concept art book, and was mesmerized by the creative process behind animation and games... Ever since then I've been learning digital art and want to work in the industry!

I have always been interested in CG since I do love to watch movies and shows but I've made a decision to join the industry when I had to decide my future careers before graduating high school.

When I was little, I was actually more interested in sports. But I had a couple of older brothers that preferred to just stay indoors and play video games, and I was really curious as to why that would be more intriguing. Naturally, I just sat behind them and observed one afternoon, and found myself mesmerised by the art on the screen and sucked into their world of play even when I wasn't even using the controller. I think that was the defining moment.

It has always been my hobby to draw and create things. I would dedicate my free time to creating things that were inspired by my surroundings, for example, that rustic soap packaging design, to how a certain mechanism works for a weapon from a certain game. While I was trying out different career options after graduation, I noticed that I would always use design to adapt to the new work environment. This made me realized that I could make it part of my career.

For as long as I could remember, I was always fascinated by the digital illustrations and designs that I saw around me like in ads, posters, movies etc. I wanted to be one of those people that could create artwork like that.

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.

I've always enjoyed art when I was younger, and it was always a dream to be able to be able to have it as a career.

I realized it around 15 months ago when I first tried Zbrush, I've liked 3d a lot since then, especially organic sculpting, and decided to pursue my career in what I love doing :)

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 was studying in Data Analytics before this and i knew that it wasn't the right fit for me. I took my side hobby of drawing and started to explore and learn more about designing as a career. Soon enough, i decided to take this path as a Motion Graphics Designer and i never looked back!

I am always fascinated by people who are good in art and people who can design well when I was young. I always wanted to work in the design industry to create artistic content for the world to see. Design is the platform where i can also express myself freely using art.

I knew about concept art just a year ago and it drove me towards some companies that I admire. Now, I want to be one of them.

Since young i have been in love with Japanese card games due to their interesting gameplay and beautiful card art. I've always dreamed of being able to draw for these companies and hope that one day i can see my own works on card games or games in general.

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.
