I am responsible for the creation of all the art, concept, UI, characters, environment, items and also all the animation for the upcoming MMORPG codenamed "Virtual Life". As i am the only artist in a small game development team, i have to communicate well with my programer and business colleagues in order to achieve the vision for the game. Also i have to use all my skills, drawing, painting, photography, modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging and animating, which means i get to take them all to the next level and become a better overall artist and also freely express my self through my art.

Dojo Entertainvents

Freelance 3D Visualization Artist

I created a series of 3D stills demonstrating what the future events would look like once every entertainment asset was in place. This meant I had to do on location photo shooting and add all the assets that I created digitally to match it.

4S Construction

Freelance 3D Visualization Artist

I do photorealistic 3D representations of future projects so that the clients could see what their buildings are going to look like. This job has very tight deadlines of up to three days per project. For this to work I have to model and texture fast and optimize my scenes so that they rendered fast but look as photorealistic as possible.
