Concept, Digital and Texture Artist. (Available)

San Francisco, United States

Summary

I am an artist currently looking for new creative endeavors. Being a concept and texture artist I can contribute to both disciplines when needed. I think my own personal style can fit into numerous looks and genres while bringing "fresh" creativity and attention to design and detail.

In the past 10+ years I have worked on numerous titles from Telltale Games, Human Head Studios, Raven Software and Bioware. During this time I have textured, painted concepts, designed icons and helped contribute to gameplay ideas.

I love to contribute whenever I can, even thinking of combat, story and gameplay mechanics that could be integrated. Many aspects of game creation and concepting are very challenging, but this is what I find the most interesting. Attention to detail and little nuances help make these virtual characters more believable, and in the end help to evoke emotion with the player while telling a story too. I honestly feel games have the possibility to be more engaging then Tv shows and even movies.
