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

I have always loved art from an early age. In school my favourite subjects were art and graphic design but unfortunately I wasn't aware of what route to take once leaving school. I continued to use my skills as a hobby in my spare time which helped me develop. After reading magazines such as Imagine FX and 3d world I decided to apply for a course to take the next step. I continue to create art now in my spare time to practise and sometimes freelance.

I was pLaying Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask on my Nintendo 64 and I was curious about how games were made at a very young age. Thus sparked my passion for games Development.

I spend my childhood years playing PC games. I grew up with Blizzards titles and spend years playing World of Warcraft. At first I was hooked into the game, and didn't think a lot about it. With the years passing and me growing up, also my curiosity started to grow stronger. Playing games, I started to look differently at them. I started to try to break down how different parts were created. I slowly realised that my dream is not to be playing those given games all the time, but to work on them.

Just before I finished high school, I decided that I wanted to work in the media industry and already had a big passion for video editing, I wanted to discover something new and took on a BA Visual Effects course at UCLan.

I used to doodle a lot as a kid, in and out of school. So growing up I was always a big nerd for sci-fi stuff, films especially as back then, video games were out of reach. I remember watching Iron Man for the first time and I was straight up blown away, The suits were badass, the story is gripping and the actions had weight. Before long, I stumbled on a Feng Zhu's Design Cinema video on youtube and then I knew, I wanted to get into Concept Art.

I have wanted to be an artist since a very young age because I loved watching my mother draw. Since then I have become a huge fan of Shoujo Manga and want to have a live action created based on a manga that I have illustrated.

Corny as it may sound, when I was a kid I managed to get my hands on a CD that happened to have a map editor for the original Half Life on it (Worldcraft aka Hammer/VHE). "Oh cool, I can make my own games!". So I started making maps that I would later torture my poor friends into playing -- in hindsight, these early maps were pretty terrible, although that did serve as my first contact with the concept of game design.

Games have always been my hobby and passion but I only realized that I wanted to pursue game art professionally a few years ago, which led me into enrolling in the Games Design course.

I first realized I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry when I watched Toy Story for the first time. I was in awe of all of the characters and animation. I knew that was what I wanted to do with my life. Now, I am striving every day towards that goal.

Choosing colleges, I flipped a coin and found myself on a course that intrigued me with the concept of making an entire world/setting from scratch. It sort of relit this lost respect of art, in that something can come from nothing. A blank page can be turned into a glimpse of someone else's perspective.

I was originally studying Web design at university and researched a game design course for my girlfriend. After looking at it I saw that I would be a good fit and greatly enjoyed more creative projects. With being a gamer in my spare time the thought of making my own was an exciting opportunity which I grabbed with both hands.

I first realised I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry when I had just come out of college and after studying social sciences such as Psychology and Sociology, I decided I wanted to try something completely new, something that I would enjoy so I chose Games Design and began my studies.

I have always had the curiosity and passion for wanting to creation my own worlds, lore and characters, but it wasn't until I played games like Guild Wars 2 and Dark Souls that my passion sparked up to a whole new level and where I could definitely say, yes I want to make games like this for a living.

Since the release of games such as the GTA Franchise as well as other console games. I have been interested by the creation of games from the visual aspects. The process of 3-D modelling and scene building.
