My name is Daniel Pacheco-Cruz. You can call me Daniel or Danny. I don&#8217;t mind either name. My pronouns are he\/ his. I am from NJ and am Guatemalan. I am very passionate about art and love making games! My love for video games started when I was younger playing with consoles such as the game cube and the Gameboy. My first introduction to making video games started at my community college in NJ (MCCC). Ever since then I just wanted to continue on my journey as a game design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use art as a way to show my ideas. My main focus with art is to create characters with backgrounds and have origin stories. I want to become a 2d game artist but, more specifically, a concept artist. I love to paint when I can but, my main focus is 2d digital art. I am interested in improving my 3d modeling skill in this class. Over the years I have focused my attention on learning human anatomy and want to use my current knowledge to create a 3d model. I am also interested in re-learning maya because it has been over a year since I used it, so my skills are very rusty. One improvement I want to achieve in this class is to work on my level building. I want to create a cohesive level that tells a story. I am currently a senior so I have had my fair share of making games but, I wouldn\u2019t call myself an expert yet. I like writing and drawing in my free time. I also like reading graphic novels. Currently my MQP is creating a graphic novel. lol. I love 2d platformers and am a big fan of Pok\u00e9mon. Pixel art is also something that I find inspiration in because it is a whole genre when it comes to art and games. I am a very open book so if you have any questions regarding the anatomy of a character, I\u2019m someone you can talk to. I am also free almost every day so I\u2019m down to chat or play games. Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is my Portfolio!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/www.joshuarosenstock.com\/teaching\/imgd3500-b22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/26\/2022\/10\/Chicken-and-Rocks.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption>The final project from my community college was to create a game.
