Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I first realised that I wanted to work in the creative media industry while I was completing my research project in high school. My topic question was, "In what ways has the advancement in CGI impacted the film industry?". Before doing any of my research I didn't have any knowledge of CG or how it was done, yet I was very intrigued and enticed by the world of VFX and I was already in love with games. The more research I did, the more I realised that I wanted to be a 3D artist.
I dreamt of working in the entertainment industry as a kid all the way back when I was playing my Super Nintendo. Although, it would be many years later that I would recognize my dreams could become a reality and that my hobby could become a profession. I truly put my head down and started to apply myself when I started my formal education. I have worked long and hard to get to where my skill level is at now, and I look forward to pushing myself harder every day to try my best myself.
My name is Alex and I am an aspiring 3D/texture artist. From a young age, I was fascinated with digital art/design, wanting to know more about it and how it was created. At the start, I focused more on video editing and motion graphics more than anything else. However, I ended up coming across Autodesk Maya and wanted to know more, thus starting the plunge into visual effects and 3D.
I started committing to an artistic path when I was in my last year of High School. I had worked on my art on the side outside of school and taught myself the fundamentals of digital illustration. I eventually wanted to branch out my skillset so I enrolled into animation school. I also have a social media account with 30K+ followers in which I post work, sell prints and stickers as well as work on commissions.
I first watched Star Wars at a very young age and fell in love with it immediately. Growing up watching so many other films and playing a ton of video games strengthened my desire to get into the entertainment industry in some capacity. I always had a real desire to work in a creative field, so I focused on art throughout my time in school. In college I began exploring animation, but eventually transitioned into game art after falling in love with the 3D art process.
I first realised that I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry when I was in high school. I knew I wanted a career that involved a creative element, thus I took part in a 3D Fundamentals and a Graphic design VET course. I soon realised that I loved to recreate objects in 3D, thus wanted to find a path into the creative media and entertainment industry. I believe that film will be the best pathway as it excites me and no matter how small the model, it may be seen by many.
I have been interested in art and creatives since I could hold a pen, but I first discovered the joys of animation when I was 11 and have been learning how to animate by myself since then. I am currently in my second year of university at Escape Studios where I have decided to study 2D animation, after years of self learned animation I have been eager to learn from professionals and learn the ropes in industry standard software.
I first realised I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry when I was in high school. I was interested in the industry as I figured it would be a good way to get a job in art. The industry is honestly quite scary, I am so impressed and intimidated at the same time. I realise that I am going to have to work and practise as much as possible to get a job in something I love doing
From a young age I was pretty obsessed with cars and trains, and I've been drawing them for about as long as I can remember. This interest in mechanical designs sparked my interest in concept art. Through high school I had my heart set on becoming an automotive designer, but as my tastes and hobbies grew, I just figured I had a better appreciation for film and games, and would find that world more fulfilling.
In the middle of my previous creative arts course at the Adelaide Central School of Art, I realized I had more passion in the entertainment industry, felt that my work would be more appreciated and that I would have more to offer. After finishing my associate degree at the ACSA, I decided to continue my journey as an aspiring artist at CDW Studios, while doing personal passion projects and commissions in my spare time.
