3D GAMES ARTIST AND ILLUSTRATOR
ART LEAD
ANT WORKSHOP
My responsibilities as Lead Artist include creating a visual style for various games, helping to keep visual style focused throughout development, as well as significant asset creation.
I strive to keep the team focused on the big picture of the game while in development rather than just individual elements, providing guidance when required, while still trying to give enough space for each individual to share their expertise and creativity on the project.
My involvement with asset creation extends from concept art through to 3D modelling, texturing, rigging, animation and then implementation in to Unity.
