Summary

I'm a 3D artist with 10 years of experience and focus on 3D environment and level art. I have a strong passion for digital art, sculpting and videogames. I have a wide range of skills and knowledge about environment and game art that I've learned throughout my collaboration in different projects, such as plants vs zombies: battle for neighborville, dauntless and mythforce. Some of my skills include organic sculpting and proficiency with zbrush, modular environment modeling, environment composition, low to highpoly workflow, baking and texturing, asset optimization, level art, speedtree and vegetation modeling, among others.

I'm also very passionate about my work so I'm always willing to improve my art and work, get feedback from colleagues and leads, I'm open to help and mentor other artists when needed, and learn new skills and tools to keep up with new tecniques.
