<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nHi. I am Zach. I’m from East Providence which is about an hour away. Currently, art is just a hobby but I’m working on developing the skills I can apply to a career in making games or other form of media. I’ve always been interested in Art. As a kid, I was fortunate enough to take art classes in providence. I started drawing a lot when I was young, like most kids, but the hobby just stuck with me. It’s an interest that’s allowed me to make connections, be in classes and collaborate with people I don\u2019t usually find in my circle.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WPI IMGD courses introduced me to 3D art. There is so much amazing 3D artwork online and the more I learn 3D art concepts the more I appreciate those who have mastered it. I\u2019ve spent time trying to develop these skills for myself and I find it interesting how techniques of each discipline, Animation, 3D Modeling, 3D Sculpting, etc apply to others in surprising ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Highschool, I was given a drawing tablet. Since then I\u2019ve been learning digital painting in the free time I can carve out of my schedule. I recently decided to take my art a little more seriously after switching my major from CS to IMGD. Currently, I\u2019m focused on improving at design, composition, rendering and other fundamental art concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only game I\u2019ve ever completed was a senior project in highschool. I worked on a team with two of my close friends. I created the sprites, animations and a short comic component. One friend programmed it in Unity and another had the role of Game Designer and Writer for the Comic. He led us to core decisions in the concept and story aspect. Although we had our specialized roles, a lot of our time was spent collaborating as a team. It was an interesting process. Especially the early iterative process of the art and design phases. Trying to understand other people’s ideas was the most challenging part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I was younger, I spent a lot of time with Game Maker when it was free. I made a few scenes of games I was unable to complete on my own. Each project taught me new concepts.\u00a0 I no longer have the files from these projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my free time I like to play guitar, paint, and program small projects. I find movies, fashion, and music a source of artistic influence. As for games, I haven’t bought one in a while. I prefer to experience games with other people whether it’s watching a playthroughs or sitting on a couch with a few friends. Sometimes I play games from when I was younger purely to recapture that original sense of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
