When I saw a behind the scenes of Blizzard's Wrath of the Lich King cinematic trailer I realized that this is something that I truly want to do.

I have always been a creative person. I would lean towards creative subjects in school such as Visual arts and music. I graduated from high school and completed my undergraduate studies in graphic design. I have done personal projects on my own such as starting a business selling my designs on phone cases. I made stickers and sold my designs on Redbubble. I even started a creative club at the university I graduated from. I am currently doing a 3D Animation program at Seneca.

A long time back, but always felt did not have the resources (monetary wise) and lacked discipline and mentorship

As a kid, I always used to spend most of my time draw, paint and clay sculpting; also used to play a lot of video games, watch films and once I tried to make a 2d drawing into 3d, I fell in love with the process, and I find the ability to built almost anything in 3d world Unreal.

In high school while playing around with After Effects. I fell in love with being able to create cool and unreal images and share it with people! 2 years in to it and I knew I wanted to be in this industry professionally.

I’m a Concept Artist and Illustrator currently living in Toronto, Ontario. I have a huge passion for design, as well as learning. I’m a graduate of Seneca College and Talent Tree. As long as I can remember I’ve been trying to communicate visually and use my drawing abilities to create stories.

I have been drawing for fun most of my life but mostly just doodles and stick figures but did one year schooling for game dev and was really proud of one of my paintings. It's been a gratifying up-hill battle ever since.

I was about 10 years old when I saw the behind the scenes look at Bungie's Halo 3. There was this very brief shot of an artist working out how the brute chieftain would look. I was instantly mesmerized and knew right away that I HAD to be a part of this industry.

When I was 18 years old, I was very interested in watching 3D movies and movies. But I didn't have any study or knowledge in that area, and nobody in that industry. While studying in Canada, I graduated from the media design program at Seneca College, but even though I learned a variety of fields, I felt that I was not good enough to master the skills. I wanted to learn more about 3D software, so I learned about games by taking a game art and animation program at College.

When I saw one of my friend making 3d model of Ironman. That moment was exciting and Interesting as I first time something extraordinary thing you can do using computer. On that day I realised this is what I want to do. Then i started learning more about software and this field. And decided to pursue my future in VFX field.

I grew up on tales of adventure and travels. I'd like to bring those childhood feelings to life with my work.

At 8 years old, making crazy stuff with Dad's camera. Went to college for video production, and ran my own company for years (directing/editing/camera/motion graphics). A couple of years ago, decided to focus in on visual effects. It's all related, but the learning of 3D software has been a paradigm shift. Starting at entry level again, but loving it and hope to bring all my various experience together at a higher level, be it for film/tv, ads, or games.

When I started self-study graphic design at my university where I received a Bachelor Degree in Advertising and later graduated with Master's from Graphic Design in media from school in Poland

Attended an open house for a 3D animation program and knew I wanted to do it ever since.

Growing up I knew I wanted to be an artist. However, I always heard about fine arts. It wasn't until high school when I watch a documentary about what goes into creating video games what I realized there was more options than painting and graphic design.

I have always been a fan of horror and science fiction films. From the burning windmill in Frankenstein, to the floating mountains in Avatar, I love how FX help bring these stories to life.
