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

https://winniemai.art/ I realized I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry when I was a kid growing up. I was constantly drawing all over the walls and floors. Now I'm always drawing on my tablet or sketchbook. (I still hide drawings on the walls every now and then.)

Since childhood I was hooked by characters in games and animations, always loved to draw them, but also create my own stories and characters. In 2019 I attended my first art event in creative industry in my country. That opened my eyes to this new possibility and so I decided to step forward. Before that I worked as freelance science illustrator working for academy researchers and scientific papers.

Always loved video games and started my journey with video editing after high school, which then made me want to seek out knowledge in Game developement.

When I first saw Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I was so mesmerized on the effects and 3d assets that were shown, It literally blew my mind! From that day, I started to learn 3d software, it was a long journey until I actually got in a school that would mentor me to learn the skills in the Industry.

Since I know myself I've always had a great interest in doing art. Then, in the middle of my highschool, I started looking for the areas I could work with and fell in love with concept art and character design and how the artists of my favorites games and movies would develop such characters. Now I'm studying Design in university and want to learn so much more about art and painting and grow as a person each day!

When I was 16 I bought my first graphics tablet. From then on I realized that making amazing digital art is not quite as unreachable as a skill as I first thought. Still trying to learn it doe.

I Realized To Wanted To Work In Creative Industries In My Schooling.

I first realised I wanted to work in creative industries when I was a young boy. I always enjoyed video games and science fiction / fantasy worlds so I wanted to one day create my own. That's why I joined the Game Creative Coding class of e-artsup, so I can one day create my own video games with the world that I imagined.

I realised pretty early that I would go a creative path in life. Since childhood I always occupied myself with drawing when I got a spare moment. This lead to me pursuing artistic education during high school. 3D inspired me to be the most versatile and exiting way to create art and later I went to university and got my graduation in visual effects 3D.

I grew up with a huge interest for games and movies. I started using Photoshop around 2010 just for fun and my own personal projects and have been using ever since. With an interest in creating things, I applied for Visual Magic in 2021 and started studying VFX and learning 3D.

I first wanted to make games back in the early 1990s after growing up with the original Nintendo and falling in love with video games. Where I live, at that time there was no industry anywhere near me. Small city in the middle of Manitoba, Canada. After spending 16 years in trades I realized what I really wanted to do for a career. So jumping feet first went to school again at age 38 and am now chasing my dream.

3D Artist with a military background, I bring a unique blend of skills and experiences to my craft. Dedicated with a passion for crafting immersive and visually captivating environments and props. Completed Diploma in Game design and development in an immersive studio-centered education that laid a strong foundation in environmental modelling, advanced texturing and lighting, game animation, rigging, level design, compositing and editing.

I always wanted to work in the field of video games, especially characters and story, and I thought that there was no place in my country that taught the field until I discovered that there was a college that teaches game design, so I went to study there and since then I have been improving myself to become a concept artist especially for characters.

After an identity crisis

When I was in highschool I wanted to really do art as a career so I worked at an animation studio and that made me want to pursue it more

I realized I wanted to work in the entertainment industry ever since I was a kid. I remember watching 2D Animated movies and began to draw replicating my drawing's to the animations. Upon watching my first CGI movie I knew that I wanted to work on 3D films as a professional.

I’ve always had an interest in games and film since I was a kid, and not because it was just entertaining, but because I saw the artistic qualities. When I realized as an artist, I can also work my way into creating art for film and games, I was hooked! I was always a traditional 2D artist, up until 2019 when I first switched to 3D media. It was a big transition for me as a artist but I fell in love with creating 3D work, and I will always look forward to working with other artists to create art

I was brought up inspired by everything from film to video games to crafts; I just wanted to create from as early on as I can remember. When I graduated high school and began considered my next steps, I did research into what viable careers I could pursue in the visual arts and I came upon CG art at my university. That was when I first saw the potential in being a part of the creative media and entertainment industry, and I have been enjoying learning everyday since.

Art was always my favorite subject. In 2018 I got the opportunity to enroll in art school.

I was interested in art since I was little, but only recently after attending college for 3D Animation did I really discover the power of the medium, and the potential to create amazing looking things. I'm excited to jump into the industry and see what I can do!

When I was in high school and I saw some CG artworks. I was very impressed by those works.

I was always the 'art kid' growing up and it was the only thing that held my attention. I would ponder over every subject in school but I could never see myself working in either aside from art. My art teacher got me used to competing locally in art contests and festivals and eventually suggested I go to SVA. I had no idea art could be an actually career so I jumped on the opportunity. I knew I wanted to make stories like the ones I grew up on, so I gravitated to art school to pursue a career.

Since primary school, when I started creating hand-drawn games and illustrations and comics. (Wait is this questionnaire anonymous?)
