Nicholas Schumaker
Detroit, MI, USAI am Nicholas Schumaker
I am a conceptual artist for Video Games and Movies
I love discussions about music technicality, video game development, and where my friends and I can further develop our artistic abilities. However, my true life lessons come from the role as football captain in high school which taught me to seek truth and humility. I believe in order to achieve greatness one must push farther than ever thought possible to find out what limits truly are. As my coach always said; “Keep low and don’t stop your legs and most importantly. Finish.”
