Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
Creating realistic looking sculpts and models is my favourite way to spend time. I love noticing all the important details and modelling these to give my work a sense of story and personality. I have strong technical skills, including proficiency in Maya, Zbrush, and the Adobe Suite. I have also been learning Mari and Houdini. I spend a lot of my spare time 3D modelling and enjoy upskilling in the relevant pieces of software.
2014 was the first time when I realized I should alter my art direction from architect/designer to film & games industry. I got my wacom drawing tablet that time, start practicing digital painting. In 2017 I came to New Zealand to learn more about 3D, animation and VFX world. I am focusing more to 3D modelling and texturing from 2021.
I have been doing storyboard comics when I was really young and have always wanted to tell my own stories. I gained a Bachelor Degree of Animation (Hons) at YOOBEE collage of creative innovation over a four year period, where I honed my skills as an artist. This gave me a greater appreciation of the creative industry and the potential to reach a larger audience with my art.
I started my career as a set painter in Berlin, Germany in 2012. As life goes, I changed my professional focus, studying environmental informatics and worked several years for the German government as an IT project manager. But deep inside my heart, I wasn’t excited about what I was doing. I missed the creativity! I never gave up on my dream and from one moment to another, I made the best decision of my life. 2022 I quickly turned my life upside down, in New Zealand, to study 3D Animation!
I first realized that I wanted to work in the creative media industry at an early age. I grew up loving to draw and had a keen eye for making my drawings look realistic. I started to fantasize about how realistic and accurate artist like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo at the age of 17, which then lead me to the path of becoming a 3D artist.
I've always been creative and pushed myself in that direction. 3D has always been my most passionate and successful craft. I got to meet Joe Letteri and get a technical breakdown of Alita: Battle Angel, it was absolutely incredible and it really set in stone that this is an industry I want to be involved in and work in a team towards a collective goal. I'm hungry to learn and improve myself as an artist.
Since I was a kid I've always loved cartoons and art in general. And as i got older the passion for art has blossomed from drawing to painting and now into 3D Sculpting. I first realized that I had to work in the creative media industry was when a representative from Yoobee School of Design went to our school for careers day and right at that moment I knew that this was my calling.
I have wanted to have a creative job my entire life, whether that was Art, Graphic Design, or Game Development, and I've made art, games and music for years, but I truly decided that I wanted to follow it as a profession after playing the indie RPG OMORI a year ago. It affected me on a extremely personal level, and made me really realize that Game Development and Storytelling matters a lot to me and is something I want to turn into my livelihood.
I've been drawing all my life, but never took it seriously until I was around 10 years old. My love for art has no bounds, and I quickly realized I wouldn't enjoy working if it didn't involve creative freedom. I never planned to take Bachelors of Animation, or anything art related - I was planning to study to become a librarian. But I have some stories that have really built up over time, and I took the chance of BOA in hope that I will one day get to really bring my stories to life.
I was actually went to study Computer Science at the first place. I am glad that I have the chance to get in touch with animation while I am studying my degree. After a few classes, I realised that this is what I want to do. Without any further consideration, I withdrew myself from the school and travelled all the way from Malaysia to New Zealand just to study 3D animation. I want to do something that I like and make it as my job. This is my way.
