Summary:
I'm 27 and have around 8 years full-time experience working as a digital
artist, involving 3D modeling, texturing, character design and rigging,
digital illustration, lighting and shading, hair simulation and
creative writing.
Skills & Experience:
I have worked full-time for Striker3D, and News International for around 3 and 4 years respectively on projects including the Striker comic strip featured in both The Sun Newspaper and in the Striker weekly comic. After this I worked on The Premier digital comic strip for The Sun Newspaper also and then for The Sun Online.
The work involved the creation of environments and characters and posing the human form setting up shots, lighting and rendering and re-touching them and finally writing story-lines and dialogue on a daily deadline. Due to this working environment I have developed a speedy approach to getting things done, often to seemingly impossible deadlines.
Following this I began freelancing.
I have also produced several websites in both standard HTML and flash, although this is not my main trade.
I have a portfolio on CGSociety

I'm currently also working on a self-funded project, a graphic novel/webcomic called The Talos Project which will launch in April at www.thetalosproject.com
