About me

I want to secure a junior position in a creative studio as a concept artist, texturer, or a job appropriate to my traditional art skills, training in 3D animation and experience working in the film industry.

Though I am not experienced in years I am extremely hard working, skilled in traditional arts, trained in a variety of different software and can speedily design both characters and environments in a great variety of styles and media.

With one years experience working as a junior at Atticus Finch production studio in Shoreditch, following one years training in animation at the Met Film School, I am trained in Maya, Nuke, Mudbox, Final Cut and Photoshop, allowing me to comfortably design concepts for characters and environments with the way in which they would function within the VFX world in mind. I can also model, texture and animate in Maya, and have experience doing so for both characters and environments. My Photoshop skills greatly improved over the year as I was given greater responsibilities for concept art, storyboarding and texturing, and my potential heightened with my confidence. These responsibilities included making photo-realistic and stylised images for characters and environments, from scratch or manipulating the existing. I also made textures using Photoshop, including bump, normals and displacement maps and was the lead texturer on Snow Patrol track Chocolate which we animated for their arena tour. I was also the storyboard artist for the other tracks that we animated for them. I was introduced to Matte Painting during a project set in the America Wild West, teaching me the importance of colour and light, and proving my 3D and VFX knowledge to be beneficial to my understanding of the images. Outside of Photoshop I am skilled in traditional arts, regularly painting acrylic portraits on commission, as well as sketching and working with clay and ink. Whilst at film school I expanded my experience as a concept artist by producing work for other student's films, and built up a reputation as a dependable person to work with, always finishing work within the deadline and bringing their ideas to life in aesthetic artwork.

I am looking for the opportunity to work within a company where I can prove my professional attitude, artistic skill and knowledge. I will happily take on any position you feel appropriate if you do not have a junior concept/texturer artist role currently available and am grateful for any opportunities to continue my journey into the film/games/animation industry.
