"To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself."I have been on this path for 8 years, working on 3D art. I taught myself new techniques to catch up with technology. I am also resourceful and always try to deliver the best result possible. If I’m not thinking about Environments, I’m probably making them.
