Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
In my artistic journey I got to try various types of art forms from painting, sculpting to concept design, block seals printing , media design and more. I got interested in 2D / 3D animation around this time and then decided to pursue it years later. I’m looking forward to create stories, characters and worlds with the knowledge that I acquired during my study years .
I first realised I wanted to work in the creative industry after taking Media and IT for my A Levels. Both subjects expanded my knowledge on Media and what the creative industry has to offer. I'm passionate about expanding my knowledge of the Production Pipeline for both 2D and 3D Animation and my long term goal is becoming a producer in the future.
I have been playing games since I was around 1 years old, and been coping with it ever since I have been in school. I have always pretended to live in the environment of a lot of games and wanted to make my own vision, so I've played games like Little Big Planet and Minecraft which provides the features in their game to create your own world. In 2015 when I was introduced to a computer for gaming, and discovered game engines. I used Cry Engine 3 and 3DS Max as my starting point.
Ever since I began finding a strong passion for film, photography and media in my mid teenage years, I have been slowly but surely narrowing down where my interests lie within this huge industry. I watch (some would say too) many films in my spare time and absolutely love animation. Over the past six years I have been self-taught in illustration, predominantly using bamboo and cintiq tablets through Adobe photoshop.
When choosing a college i decided to take a chance on going to a state-of-the-art film and media school in the heart of Media City UK. From there I learnt a great deal about film and TV production and found myself leaning towards post-production. By the end of college i released I wanted to delve into post-production further and decided to go to university specialising in vfx
Ever since secondary school I was quite into technology afterwards I went into college and adapted my IT skills a bit more and by the end of that course we did an animation and I really like the whole process of it however I didn’t have a portfolio so I went into a foundation year of art to gain more knowledge of creativity.
In 2012, when I decided to study Game Design formally. I did a 3 year degree through Train2Game, and obtained a City & Guilds Diploma in Game Design Level 6. I later did a 6 month MA course in Game Art at Pearson College, London, obtaining a Diploma in Game Art-FX & Technical Art. I am passionate about games and the art behind them.
To be honest, university was just something I went with the flow on. I wasn't too sure on what I wanted to do in the future, but I knew it was something creative. I applied to multiple universities, from illustration, and game art, and in the end, chose 'The Art of Video Games' course at Escape Studios, with Pearson College and I'm enjoying it!
