I just finished my MA in 'Game art' at 'Escape Studios' and assembled a portfolio to get a job in games as an Environment Technical Artist .
As a kid, playing around with debug mode in Sonic 2 and playing Halo 2 and Fable had me wondering how the visuals of games were made. I had an "eureka" moment when I first tried 3Ds Max in a 3D animation high school course. From then, I was hooked and became a self taught 3D artist as went to college to focus on fine art since there was no games courses in my country . I spent 7 years doing small gigs as a 3D artist (not in games/VFX) teaching the basics of 3D to kids and learning Drawing.
