To become a character designer. I enjoy drawing characters and giving them a backstory, so I hope to make them come to life in 'reality'.

I realised I wanted to be in the creative industry is when I came home from a movie night ('Pirates of the Caribbean'). I've watched a few awesome movies that have similar special effects as this piece, however the moment when the pirate ship re-emerged from under the ocean, I was absolutely stunned by the beauty of a virtual object created on a screen. I wanted to create something like this - maybe not a ship specifically - but a spectacular creation that will send chills down the viewers skin.
