Introductions – Lauren Waddick

Hello! My name is Lauren, and I’m from Massachusetts. Growing up, I’ve always wanted learn how movies and video games where brought to life through both 2D and 3D art. I’m hoping to improve my skills in art and one day be apart of a team that works on the creative process of bringing stories to life.

My experience with art began back in the middle of high school where a teacher’s design classes helped motivate me to continue to pursue drawing. The teacher also ran a Dungeons and Dragons club which made me fall in love with creating characters and developing story’s with friends. I have taken courses in my time at WPI focusing on 3D modeling, both 2D and 3D animation, as well as game audio. All of which have been very fun and interesting!

Other creative arts I enjoy are things like figure painting. Going back to DnD, during the summer I liked to paint figures for the group I play with as well as for myself. I’m aiming to try to learn more about the process of 3D modeling to maybe one day be able to 3D print my own custom made figures to paint. I definitely have a long way to go with improving my 3D modeling skills but I’m hoping to keep improving!

Here are some examples of my work!

    dark – A lot of the art seems to utilize darker tones in a way that really complements what the subject is. The one that stood out to me the most in this way is the 3D dragon head.
