I would add more items if I had them. I had a computer virus last summer and it destroyed almost all of my files, unfortunately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Who you are and where you’re from <\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • My name is Matthew Ford, and I am from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • How art fits into your current life and your life goals<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • At this this point in my life, art serves as a creative way for me to not only create but demonstrate my ambitions and desires. I have always had a passion for sports and videogames but through my art I am able to better appreciate the 2 and see some of the difficulties that are not often discussed when it comes to creation in those fields.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Your experience with digital and traditional art making, in courses or otherwise<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • So far, I have had a moderate amount of experience across different platforms and apps when it comes to digital art. Unfortunately, I have nothing to show for it as of now due to a recent computer virus that corrupted all but some of my files<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Something you are interested in improving about your art skills<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I would love to see me improve my realism when it comes humanoid pieces, especially to the 3d models\/statutes that I make of legendary football plays\/moments<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Your experience making games<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I have a lot of experience when it comes to making games, I actually already have 2 fully published games and established art for over 5 other solo projects (hit by virus)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Other creative arts you like to practice (writing, dance, crafts, music, theater, etc)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Although i do not focus on music or film, I do have experience when it comes to composing music and short films. However, I cannot get the link set up for some reason<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Games or other media you find artistically inspiring<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I have always been a fan of party games and simple polygon games. Often times it’s the people you play with that make games better overall. Just look at PEAK which was made in a month by 4 people, and it is doing amazing rn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Anything else you’d like your classmates and professor to know about you<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • I am currently the starting fullback for the WPI varsity football team (#38)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
