Hello! I'm Cody Schroeder. Coming from a background in graphic design, I've created concepts and designs, for freelance clients, independent studios, small groups creating games, and modding communities. I'm the type of person to pick up a lot of hobbies and interests, then quick to move on to new ones. But throughout my life art has been the constant for me. My father is a graphic designer, and always encouraged my artistic side. I grew up drawing and painting, going through different favorite mediums and styles, and my other interests always wound up having an impact my art. Things like reading, movies, anime... and video games. Like a lot of young boys video games ended up being a big part of my life. Getting the newest consoles and games and staying on the latest trends. Definitely TOO late night xbox live parties with my friends. But unlike all the other hobbies that came and went, I was still drawing and still wanting to make art. Then in high school I found out about digital art, and more importantly concept art. Thanks to some YouTube videos from a little school called FZD, all my focus and drive went into learning digital art, and concept art. And the two biggest constants in my life turned into the career I was going to have. Now that I've been seriously going after the dream for a few years, I know I made the right choice. It's not been the easiest road, but its a road I love traveling. It's thanks to online resources and communities like THU that I've been able to learn what I have about this kind of career. And I'm excited to keep learning and meeting new people on the same road! You can find my portfolio here codyschroeder.myportfolio.com. Feel free to reach out and connect! I love making new friends and connections.
