Former games artist. Future concept artist.
Biography
Started out as a 2D artist/animator in the games industry back in the early 90’s transitioning into 3D modeling/animation over those initial few years eventually holding lead and senior artist roles.
Became Freelance in the early 00’s and slowly moved away from games into Architecture and visualization in tandem with multimedia projects.
By the time another decade had gone by I had basically become an architectural technician/project manager picking up a qualification to back this up along the way.
Really want to get back into a more creative role as a concept artist which was the part of games development I always enjoyed the most.
Currently working on a portfolio in my spare time.
