Recommendations:
Daniel Hedjazi, Level Designer Producer at Interceptor Entertainment
Michel is an extremely talented environment artist and a great team player. He joined our team during a critical phase and played a key role in
successfully wrapping up a very important milestone for our game. Michel understands how to efficiently work within the constraints of a game engine and
how to use its advantages to create the best results. His assets always met our requirements both technically and artistically. Even under great pressure,
Michel never hesitated to take on extra tasks while still meeting even the tightest deadlines. I highly recommend Michel, and I am looking forward to
working with him again in the future.
Rombout Casander, Art Director at Engine Software
During the period Michel worked at Engine Software as an art intern I have come to know him as a hard working individual who is constantly improving
his own skills. Besides learning new things himself he is also actively involved in teaching and spreading his skills to new artists. After his internship we even
asked him to come back and work for us to finish an important project. All in all I've found Michel to be a real asset to the art team and I can recommend
him to anyone who considers to have him join their team.
Ivo Nies, Concept Artist/2D Artist at Engine Software
Michel is a great artist! Beside his excellent modeling and texturing skills, he always tries to keep on learning more and more to expand his skill-set and do
the best he can. He has a friendly and passionate character and is great to work with. He communicates well and I'd highly re commend him to any studio.
I'd also love to work with him again in the future.
