My career goal is to become a character artist for games and eventually work my way up to being an art director.
I always knew I wanted to be an artist. When I was kid, that meant drawing for a living. In high school, that meant being a 2D concept artist, illustrator, or animator. I didn't really know about the other diverse options I could take in the entertainment industry until my second year in college, when I learned about Gnomon. That's when the world of the CG industry opened up to me.
Learning: Gnomon
Skills: Adobe Photoshop Autodesk Maya Keyshot Renderer Marmoset Toolbag Marvelous Designer Maya Photoshop Substance B2M Substance Designer Substance Painter Unreal Engine 4 Vray Zbrush
Expertise: 2D Animation 3D Animation Concept Art & Illustration Game Design & Development Other
