I am a generalist able to do most areas of game production.
I have modeled, rigged and animated characters. Modeled and rendered high resolution art for backgrounds, menus and box art. Created all types of assets for level art, both interior and exterior, from destructible objects, props, structures and terrains. I also know how to work with BSP geometry and various game editors.
I prefer doing environment art but believe that my background in all types of production helps me understand how to get the most of out of types of environments that I am required to make.
