The Saga Begins


So, after two and a half years of art school I decided to do what all the cool kids are doing and create a blog to document my progression as an artist. I'm a junior at DigiPen Institute of Technology in Redmond, Washington and learning all sorts of cutting edge stuff like 3D animation, digital painting, and good ol' traditional art skills. So far, I like it all, but have an inclination toward narrative. Movies? Games? Who knows...for now I'm just enjoying the process of learning and doing my best to grow as an artist everyday.

Today, Blizzard came to our school to scope out some talent and show off how awesome they are...which they are indeed. Some friends and I put together portfolios to show them our strengths. It was cool to see that some of my work is actually worth being looked at by a professional. She gave me some great advise which I plan on implementing in my work. She liked my "Bazeuska" design the most and told me that if I added some small design details like cracks and greek patterns it would be up to snuff.
