Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
Art has always been a huge part of my life, and gaming was introduced to me at an early age through my older brother, two hobbies I still have to this day. It wasn't until the middle of upper secondary school though that I would get the revelation that game development is a legit profession and that I would be able to combine my two hobbies within that field, and so I have through studies and work since 2015.
I thought for the longest time I wanted to be a 2D artist. I always loved drawing and creating characters, and wanted to work in animation. During a digital art course during highschool, I was forced to learn some 3D modelling, and instantly fell in love. Just as in 2D, I wanted to create characters, and I enjoyed every part of the process from character design to modelling, to animation. Realizing my favorite part was rigging, I decided that was what I wanted to work with.
Over the past 4 years, using game engines to improve my work-flow as a motion graphic animator and video editor I got myself involved with game development and got very excited to keep learn Game Design and keep going in this direction, challenging myself to create exceptional content and approach different and better ways to do it together with a team based structure.
After graduating I realized that I have many ideas to share but lacking the skills and education to do it, so I started self learning the tools and art fundamentals to help me take the first step into entering the creative industry; to hopefully be part of the process of creating meaningful and fun games.
I've always been into video games and art since I was 4 years old and the more time have past the more I loved it to the point that it ended up as a dream of mine. What made me jump into the creative industries? well, it's a mix of my favourite games such as but not limited to; Need For Speed, Gran Turismo, Hi-Fi Rush, Destiny2, Overwatch, Arknights... as well as some general franchises like; Transformers, Spider-Man (specifically the Spider-Verse movies), a wide poll of Animes, and more...
Both my education and my personal interests have always reflected the creative side. Having interest in theatre, music and stories I have been inspired to pursue these vast subjects and eventually understand the processes behind them. Since I was young I have been playing team sports so I am always fond of collaboration. The gaming industry is a perfect fit for me and provides an incredible opportunity to develop my skills.
I realized pretty early on that I wanted to work within the gaming industry in some shape or form - I believe it was World of Warcraft that sparked the interest. However, growing up, it was never a very accessible option for me and I always told myself I needed to be a programming wizard to succeed, so I gave up the dream pretty quickly. It wasn't until I turned 28 and said "screw it" and applied to a school on a whim that my dreams finally became real!
