• Concept Artist - Contractor at Multiple Clients

  August 2022 - Present

  I worked on several short terms projects with different clients. The projects varied from short animated film, to child book illustration and early concept arts development for video game pitch.

  My keys responsibilities for these projects were:
  
  - Early explorations of designs for characters, props and environment through rough sketches with the use of the traditional medias, 2D digital medias and 3D.
  
  - Create rendered designs for characters, props and environment, to set a clear art direction for a project and/or to help to sell the pitch of a project.
  
  - Research and organize design boards and mood boards to help the clients to establish an art direction that fits their needs and their ressources.
  
  - Actively communicate and be as transparent as possible with the clients and other artists (3D sculptors, rigging artists, animators, VFX artists etc) to ensure that the designs meet the projects expectations.
