    2D Game Artist

    Remote Resources

    - 3 years 11 months

    Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

    As a 2D artist, I contribute to a number of aspects to game art in production, including Creatures Design, Character Design, and Colour Design.
    By working with a very dynamic outsourcing company, I get to learn how to communicate my ideas clearly through a visual medium, as well as to present my ideas to different clients in projects with various art style. Plus, working in a team of both 3D and 2D artist is relatively beneficial to my team working skills, though a bit challenging at first.

    In Sinosphere cultures, each year is represented by a zodiac, and 12 years will become a cycle symbolized by 12 zodiacs. For 2023, the project was "Bemeo 2023".
    To merry the new year of 2023, the Year of the Cat in Vietnamese culture, our Vietnamese artists have organized a project on drawing the Cat - the zodiac of the year - to send good messages to welcome a happy and prosperous new year. I was one of the artists chosen for the final showcase :)
