Objective
My goal is to work on fun projects with fun people and to learn from them. I want to become a better artist and grow as a person at the same time. It is not only the artistic side that interests me in video games. I have been spending a lot of time in learning programming languages and the technical side in general. I adapt very easily to different pipelines and can come up with ways of making it better. I do focus more on environment art and level design because I love to have control of what the player experiences.

I have been programming for a while, and I’ve created several programs to boost my workflow. At the moment I am working on my own little iPhone game using Unity3D. I program it in C# and do all of the artwork myself.

Online communities.

I have created several tutorials for the community; most of them are to be found on my website. Some of them featured on popular websites such as 3DTotal.com.

Different tools created for the community using my basic programming skills in c++ and C#. I am currently working with Unity3D and creating my own little game as a hobby.
