I find that keeping my objectivity helps to prevent me from doing the same kind of character over and over again. I also try to be objective and make characters that might appeal to a certain studio I’d like to apply to and that have something new that will force me to learn new stuff. Making a 3D character can take some time, so I make sure I choose concepts that I like and that have a certain personality. My engineering background definitely helped with the more technical parts of 3D. But I discovered that in 3D art, I could mix art and math, two subjects I am very fond of. I didn’t have any 3D background, so it was a bumpy ride, to say the least.
I never thought I would be accepted, but I was, and I started my classes in April of 2015. I tried to make it as an illustrator and a concept artist, and in 2014 I decided to apply just for fun to Gnomon. So I realized it was better to follow your passion – if you’re good, money will eventually follow. Ironically, the crisis of 2008 turned the world upside down, and no one had a safe job back then.
Unfortunately, as I got older, fear of artistic poverty led me to choose a career that was deemed more secure and so I got a degree in Civil Engineering. By my early teens I started getting into video games and as result, I wanted to be involved in the entertainment industry.
I grew up reading comic books and watching amazing 80s movies like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Back to the Future, Die Hard, etc. I am a 3D Character Artist originally from Lisbon, Portugal.
