Summary

Passionate about CG art and educated in 3D Modeling for Animation & Games. Strong familiarity with game engines such as Unreal Engine & Unity. Background knowledge of Maya and currently experimenting with Blender in spare time. Skill set includes expertise in modeling, texturing, lighting, and composting. Also possess valuable retail and customer service experience. Extensive work experience primarily in labor-related roles, but recently had to take medical leave due to a repetitive use injury. No longer able to rely on labor skills for basic employment, which motivates me to excel in the field of CG art.

video games

Huge fan of zombie/ Open World/ RPG video games, but I'll p lay just about anything.

I really enjoyed both State of Decay 1 & 2 on Xbox and PC , I do play mostly PC, primarily with Steam Games. 

My current steam collection is sitting at nearly 280 and no sadly I have not played every game I own, some where gifts, others where hype that died fast, some sadly even lost complete support and ar no longer even accessible! 

I am currently enjoying my first playthrough of StarWars : The Old republic, decided I would try out my luck with the empire, and for an individual who has predominantly chosen the "good" side throughout my life I am actually very much enjoying the dialog selections even if just to see the how the NPC's react.
