ABOUT ME 🡲 When I was about 14 years old, I remember seeing a piece of 3D-rendered fanart from Final Fantasy that made me wonder; "can I do that too?" The question was simple enough, but the answer would span years and take me far beyond my original goal, sparking a passion for art that would end up defining my life. After teaching myself the basics with online tutorials, my first real test of ability came when I joined the ModDB community and began providing texture and 3D-asset work for indie game projects. I was eager to learn, excited to contribute, and honestly... not very good. Still, I wouldn't trade that experience for anything; it pushed me to expand my skills in increasingly unexpected ways."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 say yes to. Somewhere along the way, I realized I'd become the guy who can 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 firstforay into using professional tools like Cinema4D and Photoshop CS3 to complete the scene. >>>>>>>>> "Fingerprint." Created April 2010.
