Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists

Growing up, my art was mainly influenced by anime, cartoons, videogames and comics. Illustration is something I've always enjoyed, and over the years I realised creating content for games, comics or any entertainment related industry is what I wanted to do for the rest of my career. A lot of artists in the industry inspire me as well, and the passion and dedication to their craft is something that keeps motivating me to constantly improve and work towards my goals.

Approaching the end of secondary school, I began to realize that despite focusing on academics my entire life, my creative side never left me and it constantly beckoned me to tell stories, make games and draw. I researched the logistics of how making art for a living would work, more specifically in the entertainment industry and I came to realize that this was a viable career path. “My goal in life is to unite my avocation with my vocation, As my two eyes make one in sight.” - Robert Frost

When I was young my parents sent me to a small time advertising studio to learn photoshop. Meanwhile I saw my mentors working on 3D and felt trying it, but failed. That's how i started developing my interest towards CG Even though my grades in school were good enough I looked for a career that involves learning something new. After a lot of research, I found an article about art and animation , I was convinced to join VFX studio and the next step was to 3dsense Media School.

Ever since my youth, I have surrounded myself with comic books, video games and movies. I still remember the first time I played games like Destiny 2, HALO and Devil May Cry, getting lost in the immersive combat, gorgeous character designs and rich storytelling through detailed environments. My love for storytelling and my experience in architecture and graphic design led me to pursue a career in 3D game art. I very much look forward to bringing all those stories out there to life.

Graduated from 3dsense Media School

I suppose from the start I've always been curious about how they made all my favorite games, movies, and TV shows. Going off from my education in Art and design, I tried to expand my knowledge any way i can for my own growth. Eventually I just realized i wanted to make this my full career, so by the time i finished high school I already knew that i wanted to be a part of this growing community.

Around the time I was in high school (2nd year or so). I chose to join in an Art and Design class. It was first just a passionate hobby that I didn't think would actually turn into anything serious in a sense of business itself, but after learning how to organize your own portfolios, dedicate your time for Art, and meeting other fellow artists, motivates me to pursue this further.

When I was 17, I saw the illustrations and concept art done for a game called God of War Ascension. I contacted the artist, we got to talking and I knew this was the career path that I had to pursue.

I knew I wanted to work in this industry when I first attempted to make my own video game a few years ago. Although the Project never took off, I had a lot of fun in developing it. My favorite part of the process was creating the 3D art assets. Since then I have graduated from 3dsense Media School, in Singapore, in order to make this my career.

From wanting to be a Software Engineer, to a Graphic Designer, Motion Graphic Designer, I went on dreaming about being an artist. I always knew I wanted to be a creator of some sort, I have always been passionate about Movies and games, I knew being a VFX artist would be IT. All My childhood I've been obsessed about Movies and Games Now finally i have a chance to help make them.

A long time back I saw Framestore's chocolate ad that featured Audrey Hepburn, it really blew my mind how they recreated her fully using CG. I have always liked doing art but I'm not sure which direction I should go, luckily my parents are supportive and they let me study CG art.

Coming from an Asian background where entertainment industry meant Bollywood, and career meant doctor/engineer, working as an artist was never the dream. I don’t even think I drew a lot as a kid. In 2014, I met a concept artist working his craft creating some cool monster. Something about that pure creative moment stuck a chord with me and since then I have been trying to find what about it makes me create art. That same curiosity, led me to the extraordinary world of entertainment industry.

I realised that drawing and designing captured much more of my interest compared to the subjects I was studying in junior college. Hence, I entered an animation school without really knowing what to expect and just having the love for art, films and video games. I was learnt a lot about the 3D animation world there and grew to love modelling, thus setting myself on the path to becoming a 3D modeller.

I was 7 when I picked up my first book, it was BFG by Roald Dahl if I recall correctly. It was a hand me down and was filled with dog ears and odd stains but it helped me understand the effect that powerful storytelling has on people. That and coupled with the fact that Shrek was released in the same year cemented my passion for the industry.

From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of storytelling through animation. The thrill of horror content ignited my passion, and the spine-tingling narratives lingered in my imagination. With each eerie tale, I discovered the power of animation to evoke emotions and convey stories beyond the ordinary. It was then I knew I wanted to be part of this creative realm, shaping my own narratives and bringing them to life on screen.

As a kid and as I grew up, I loved watching shows. I loved rooting, crying, and being furious towards these characters that don't exist. I admired how these shows, characters, and the entertainment industry, can bring an audience to tears and joy. I think I first realized that this was where I want to be, when I drew a simple animation myself and watched it move before my eyes. How amazing it would be to create the same characters that inspired me.

When Genshin Impact was just released, the immersive storytelling and captivating world deeply resonated with me, sparking a passion for creative media and entertainment. It's more than just a game; it's an experience that has inspired me to explore opportunities within this dynamic industry.

My good friends introduced me to video games at age 13 when I received my first laptop and fell in love with games immediately. Decided to combine this love with my lifelong hobby in art when I learned about Singapore Polytechnic's Diploma in Game Design and Development in Secondary 2 in order to one day enter game dev to contribute to projects that make an impact on people's lives like it did for me.

I discovered my passion for the creative industry when work didn't feel like work, enjoying the creative process from brainstorming to bringing ideas to life. Completing a one-year diploma in 3Dsense solidified my decision to pursue the motion industry. I value the variety of projects and challenges, making each day fulfilling.

I always like design and art and as I grew up and started to learn more about the skills and software , I think I gradually got involved in this creative community and want to make myself a part of it. And get to work and surround my self with other creative people and experts.

I have been working as a chemistry teacher since 2018. However, all these time I still like drawing and design, as it is different from the consistency in science. There are much more possibilities and fun in design. Hence I decided to quit my job in the 4th year of my career and went to pursue my passion in creative media and entertainment.

Originally, I was majored in Water supply engineering and then worked as an engineer for 2 years. During the time I had with my old job, I realized it was not what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Art has always been an interest of mine so I thought why not. I started taking short digital art courses and did some own research about the industry which led me to studying Concept design and Illustration Diploma in 3dsense Media School in 2023.

At the age of 15, I started to develop a passion for art and design, but usually in traditional art media. Not until 2022, I saw the documentary behind the scenes of Arcane, Arcane: Bridging the Rift from Riot Games. It has inspired me to become a digital art and concept designer.
