Experienced 3D Generalist specializing in character art for games.
What I'm looking for
With over 14 years in the game industry, I have honed my skills as a 3D Generalist, specializing in character art. My expertise encompasses the entire character development process, from modeling and sculpting to texturing, shading, lighting, and rigging. I take pride in creating stylized characters reminiscent of popular games like Fortnite and DOTA 2, ensuring they are fully game-ready. My portfolio showcases my character work, including notable projects such as Amber and COD Soldier, which were developed from scratch using AI-generated concepts.
In addition to my artistic skills, I have a strong background in game design, having collaborated with mobile game publishers like Moonee and Tapnation at Peacox Studio. I generated and refined game ideas, ensuring our projects aligned with current trends. As an Art Director for the past four years, I have successfully managed over 300 projects, leading a team of 10 3D artists and 7 2D artists. My role involved client communication, technical documentation, and project management using tools like Toggl and Notion. I also embraced the growing demand for NFTs, guiding the art direction for various projects.
My technical proficiency includes industry-standard tools such as Blender, Zbrush, and Substance Painter, along with game engines like Unreal Engine and Unity. I am passionate about creating immersive gaming experiences and continuously seek to expand my skill set in the ever-evolving landscape of game development.
