Environment Artist 3D

PROFILE

I am a *D artist from Basque Country, Spain with with 6 years of experience in indie studios. With two game published Zenith and Epic Chef, and two to be published. Everdeep Aurora and Gigantosaurus Dino Sports.

I am specialized in stylized models. But I also know the techniques for realistic modeling and texturing, both characters and assets for environments. I have a good knowledge base in traditional art too, so I can do 2D Art, and make hand-paint textures, or create procedural textures. EXPERIENCE
