ABOUT ME

Born in Merida, Yuc. Mex and with great passion for Game Art,
I’ve always been really interested in how the games were made, how did they work but mostly how to make models or characters. I would watch behind the scenes videos of major video games such as: Halo, Gears of War and others and so now that I was here, I had new opportunities so without thinking I started learning art, specially 3D Characters and Environments.
I’m a huge Sci-Fi nerd so you’ll find me making aliens in Sci-Fi worlds or probably gaming classic halo like is 2007. I enjoy taking online courses and I love learning new stuff, whether it is to improve my skills or gain new ones. I consider myself a perfectionist and I always do my best to do quality work
