Since I've been very little, I have been on this path ever since I played my first video game!

I know that I have been wanting to work within some creative field since childhood, but not having a specific path in mind before 2019, when I decided to pick up on 3D modelling with the aspiration to work with games in the future.

Ever since I heard that it was a job you could actually have.

Since i played the "vinter i mumindalen!" at the tiny age of 9

During my last High School year was when I realized that I wanted to work with games.

My 3D journey started during my first year of high school back in 2019, a couple of months into a digital 3D class.

When I was 13, my mom gave me an old digital camera. That set me on a path of exploring my creative curiosity through photography. One day I stumbled upon videos on the free software blender, I realized I could create anything I could imagine. I was no longer bound to my camera and town, so I took all my knowledge I had learned from photography and started delving into the world of 3D

It was around high school when I realized video games could be a career and I wanted to work with something creative!

I have always been very creative and I have come up with silly ideas. I also have a huge interest in the gaming industry and I wanted to combine my creative side and my gaming interest.

I first started using Blender when making World of Warcraft renders with ripped assets. Over time I decided that I wanted to make my own models and creations in the end, and so that is what I focus on now.

I have always wanted to work with something creative, and one of my biggest interests is video games. After working many years with sign design i wanted to pursue a new career working with games.

I've always had art as my primary hobby, my interest for 3D graphics came after modding games in 2012 and then because of finding that cool I wanted to make my own 3D creations.

I started with drawing Santa Claus during boring lessons and day dreaming of being a concept artist. Then after switching education the second I started 3D modeling I knew I wanted to do environments. So I have been on a warpath to learn everything environment art since then.

As a child I loved playing games where I could build worlds and stories and spent more time building houses, characters, cities and theme parks than I spent "actually playing" the games. As a teenager I stopped playing games but I rediscovered games as a young adult and fell in love with the idea of combining visual creativity with technical problem solving (maybe mostly the latter). Since then I've slowly worked my way to where I am today, hoping to enter the game development industry one day.

When i was 7years ol i made a paper replica of princess peach castle from mario 64 thats when i realised that i wanted to become an artist

I've always enjoyed creating things. I realised that you could make games. Cool!

Im a musician that decided to try something new during the pandemic, and I love it. Doing stuff in 3D is so much fun

About when I was 13 and discovered mods for Counter Strike: Source, eventually I started developing my own mods.

I knew this was what I wanted my career to be while watching people smile and laugh while playing the student project game I was apart of making.

Since I was very young I've always wanted to work in art but back then it was more an ambiguous image of being an "artist". It has so far been my only vision and passion only two years back realizing the opportunity of mixing my passion for art and videogames and head towards being a game artist.

I've always liked making a story, creating something with from within me. It was clear with me, I wanted to pursue something of that sort - I've always drawn, so why not art. In the beginning, I worked with minor animations and TV-based art, but I was later told that game art could be a possibility for me too. I liked that, seems similar, fun, and new! So here we are.

As long as I can remember, art and video games have always played a big roll in my life. Didn't know it was possible to combine those two as a job until a few years ago. Now I cannot see myself doing something else.
