Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
When I spent hours and hours on my first online game Maplestory! I didn't realize at that time, but that experience led me into exploring worlds of different game and animation. I never got sick out of exploring game and animation, and these experiences made me wanting to participate in creating on of them as my career.
I started off unsure of what I wanted to do and went into what I felt would be the easiest: Computer Science. It didn't take long for me to realize I was bored by the subject, and I found myself constantly going back to art. It was then that I realized that what I wanted to pursue was something that I had been doing all along art.
I grew up reading science fiction stories of imaginary worlds and fantastic space stations, which inspired me when I was young. Eventually video-games like Halo Combat Evolved made me realise that it was possible to materialise these fictional worlds and experience them, the way we experience a holiday trip. It was a wonderful escape from the mundane, everyday life. Movies like Bladerunner showcased for me the brilliance of world-building and the artistic creation of fictional stories.
I first wanted to get into the creative media and entertainment industry when I began watching Tim Burton's Justice League Animated Series as a kid. I would constantly try to draw in Burton's signature style of superheroes, especially the Batman and the Flash. My passion for drawing only grew once Marvel began to release their live action films such as Iron Man. Seeing the superheroes I grew up watching as cartoons turn into something you can imagine in reality ignited my passion even further.
I've always loved animation and games, but I never dreamed of breaking into that field until halfway into high school in my sophomore year. When I passed the idea to my mom in the car, it was just a baseless dream. With two years of intense work and even more intense support from my parents, I am now on a steady path towards my dream industry!
Since elementary school, I've harbored a deep passion for art. I found immense joy in sketching various subjects. Throughout my journey, I've remained steadfast in my pursuit of becoming an artist. From the outset of high school, I charted my path, with aspirations of attending an art college and commencing my career as an artist.
I realized I wanted to work in the creative industries as a Junior in high school because I needed to start thinking of my future. Television was always apart of my childhood and life. I decided I wanted to do what T.V. did for me for other people. Make people feel connected to a story and set of characters in a way that you can feel supported and seen.
I've been working seriously on getting into the art indistry ever since I was around 13. As someone who has always been into creative subjects, i believe taking the concept track was the best way to learn about my favourite parts of the art industry while also getting to explore many varieties of mediums and projects! :)
Drawing since I was young, I've always had a drive for creativity and making stories that I can share and show to others, hopefully influencing and inspiring them the same way I have been inspired by games, film, and entertainment. After high school, I decided to make this dream a reality and make it into a career. There is no other career or occupation I can envision myself doing other than work in creative industries and entertainment.
