ABOUT ME 🡲 When I was around 14 years old, I remember seeing 3D-rendered artwork of an airship from Final Fantasy and thinking; "Can I learn to do that?" I'd always been creative, but that artwork ignited something in me beyond a casual interest; something that grew into a passion and clicked for me in a way nothing else had, at a point in my life when I was both figuring myself out and going through a rough time in my childhood. My first real test of ability came when I joined the ModDB community to provide modeling and texture work for indie game projects. To be honest, I wasn't very good at the time, but that experience became invaluable as it pushed me to expand my skills into unexpected areas.
"Can you make a logo to go with this?" or, "can you edit this into a trailer?" Questions like that became routine, and the more I learned, the more questions I could answer with yes. Somewhere along the way, I realized I had become the person able to say "yeah, I can do that."
This was the first render I created that was based entirely on my own original idea, heavily inspired by the Half-Life 2 mod Neotokyo. It also marked my first
foray into using professional tools like Cinema4D and Photoshop CS3 to complete the scene. >>>>>>>>> "Fingerprint." Created April 2010.
