Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I have always had a deep desire to be an artist, but I knew I wanted to create art that others could interact with. I thought about doing animation and decided I was up for the challenge, then began studying a Bachelor's of 3D Animation & VFX. It has been a really enjoyable challenge and I can see progress with each project that I work on.
I came over a general diploma within 3D and animation in Norway in 2016, and it sounded interesting and tied in with my own interests, so i applied. After 6 months of studying I was completely sold. I decided to pursue further education after getting my diploma and moved to New Zealand to attend Media Design school .
Since I was in elementary school, I have loved making things with my hands, and I find it attractive to create things with my own hands. Also, I always have to have what I want because I am greedy. But sometimes there is something I can't have for any reason, and the advantage of being able to make and keep it in 3D is why I'm doing this.
Since I was a child, always wanted to be part of the team who makes the movies. It was when I went to high school that I realised it wasn't just a dream. I needed to start building my career and make the first step to reach the goal. I'm enjoying so much how far I am getting better, earning more skills with the media and feeling ready to start showing my work to get to know me and meet all the fellows that are sharing this VFX journey with me.
Playing games as a child, I always thought it was the best job in the world. Only in the last 4 years did I realise it wasn't a far fetched dream; that there is a pathway available so I leaped at the chance! Many games were lacking that little bit extra for me and my friends so we would discuss if this game just had these extra mechanics or was tweaked a little more it would be perfect for us to play forever. Taking this career path means I can make that perfect game for the world to enjoy.
Since I got my 2 year diploma of 3D and animation in Norway, I decided it wasn't enough. Afterwards I moved to distant New Zealand, and am currently working on my soon to be finished Bachelors of Game Art at Media Design School. I am a good all rounder knowing how to wear many hats. I specializes as a prop, and environment- artist (Maya), but I'm also familiar with rigging and animation (3DS Max).
My Journey began in 2015 when I stepped my foot to get an education where it developed my skills, knowledge and grew as an individual. I have passions for modeling, sculpting, UI / website design, and surfacing, and I enjoy both the technical and creative aspects that the industry entails. It's very interesting how the industry is always changing and you will never work on the same thing every day!
In high school I was really into traditional art and digital art, so when I was told from a class mate about Media Design School, I was super excited and determined to get in maily because I had three days left to apply. I put together my best work and I got in. To me that was when I really wanted to be in this industry.
