3D ENVIRONMENT ARTIST

As an energetic and light-hearted Filipino 3D environment artist, I derive my inspiration from my culture as the groundwork to my personal portfolio. I am motivated to create artwork around the Philippine culture knowing the lack of representation of the culture in game art and in the industry, and I work hard to change that with every portfolio piece.
