Hey everyone!
Just started posting here after watching the Idle Thumbs stream for Dayz and thought this would be a good community of people to start getting to know.
I studied Matte painting and concept art creation with movies in mind but over the years and some reflection I decided to start focusing on using these skills for video games since that is what I am most passionate about. Now I am currently working on an indie game, doing the art direction is a challenge but I am having a blast!
My tastes in games is still developing and being fine tuned I noticed over the last couple years. Before, it was Halo and battlefield games that took up most of my gaming time, but now its games like Dayz and Minecraft that excite me now. Being able to to create your own story while also expressing your creativity seems to be a win for me. My most anticipated games at the moment are GTA V and Fortnite. Really can't wait to get my hands on Unreal 4 and learn how to mod the hell out of Fortnite if it's any good.
Have a good one!
