Hello!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m Davina Dawson, a senior IMGD student with a tech art concentration and a minor in computer science. I also have two cats, one of which is a kitten who likes to play fetch (video available on request!) <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always dislike the ‘where are you from’ question, because its not a simple answer for me. I moved around a lot growing up, and have lived in Massachusetts (twice), Georgia, Maryland, California, and Louisiana. Honestly, there were times in my childhood where I had no idea where I even was. I usually answer with Georgia- because I spent the most time there, but really, I don’t know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art has always played a role in my life. Some of my oldest memories include my sister putting me to bed- drawing something for me, rather than reading me a bedtime story. I make art every day, and I will continue making art every day. My goal is to monetize it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve done all sorts of art. I have been drawing forever, and my preference is in pen. I have dabbled with painting, pastels, and various charcoals. I sometimes paint miniatures. I love 3D modeling. I also have enjoyed other creative arts in the past. I used to be quite the musical theater kid. I want to improve my modeling eye- so that I can see what needs to be fixed in my models without having to be told. I love 2D art, but my heart belongs to 3D modeling, as you will see from my 3D modeling dominated portfolio. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My game making experience is mainly formed by the classes that I’ve taken here, and the game jams that I have participated in. You can see my most recent game by clicking the link provided below- its under the patriotic raccoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am inspired by all sorts of games. Lately I’ve been watching my partner play the new Doom game, and it is honestly a little mesmerizing. I have also been playing Soma, which is an existential horror game. I’d say, my most inspiring game is usually just whatever I’m playing or seeing currently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
