Uncover Hidden Talent: Hire the World’s Top New Digital Artists
I realized I wanted to work in the creative industries during my first year of art school, when I had to choose my major. Working on a 3D modeling project, I discovered the thrill of bringing digital creations to life. This blend of artistic creativity and technical precision captivated me, leading to countless hours honing my skills and learning from online communities. That early passion solidified my career path in 3D art and texture design, driving me to continually refine my craft.
I didn't know what I wanted to do... Back in high school, I wasn't especially good at anything, so I was lost after graduating. Studying random courses and working at retail, switching back and forth. It was quite depressing. I loved ceramics, painting and drawing still life and environments. Never in my life thought I would make a living with art. But, when I discovered about computer graphics, that's when I fell in love again and realized that this might work! :)
I first realized I wanted to work in the creative media and entertainment industry when I started producing YouTube gaming videos. As I started to produce more videos I realized I started to really enjoy making entertaining or educational videos for the world. I then got interested in 3D modeling and wish to impact the world through this media.
