[Dhabih]

I would like to compile a list of people here that are doing this whole digital art thing as a profession, be it games, movie, TV, web design...etc. This will be compiled and made part of the forums linked off from perhaps the top of the main page or something like that. I think this may help some people as a resource to different industries for those who are looking to get into a certain field or want to ask something specific of someone in a certain field.

So, if you do digital art as a profession (doesn't mean only in photoshop, just anything art related using the computer for at least part of the work) please reply here and include who you work for, what your company does, and what you do for them....this includes those of you who do freelance work. Just really brief things like for example for me i'd say : I work @ Valve Software who make computer games, and i'm a 2d/3d artist there."

You dont have to include your real name if you dont want...

I'm not sure if this will work...maybe i will only get 1 response, but i think there should be at least a few people here.

The page i will add this to will most likely be accessible from the main forums page along with some other pages i'd like to create, such as the most frequently asked questions on this board and their answers and some other things.

If you know others that work somewhere but maybe dont come here everyday to see this message, please lemme know their info too (if they've already publicly made this info known, i dont want to "out" anyone )

thanks,
-dhab

I've been working professionally for 2 years Animal Logic in Sydney, Australia, in the Design department. Before that I was a Pizza delivery driver and student of film/design.

I started there doing work for an aborted computer game and stayed on the produce pre-vis illustrations for commercials and do texture art.

Pre-vis illustrations are frames that help sell the 'look' of a particular effects shot to the director, client and crew.

Of late I've branched out into matte paintings and am training to be an FX supervisor/designer. My first love is always doing the illustrative work though

Amoungst other things, I did the concept frames for the Lara Croft/Lucozade commercials, some collaborative concept design for 'Red Planet', and a HK film called 'Gen Y Cops'. I also designed and animated the screen graphics for the telemovie 'On The Beach'.
http://www.animallogic.com/commercials/orange

shows some of the work I've ended up doing for the company that goes beyond simple Photoshop 'digital art'.

Right now I'm working on matte paintings and FX design for 'Moulin Rouge'

I'll try and post some professional work in the near future.

I work at Innerloop Studios, a small games developer company (24ppl) doing two games at the moment, one for Sega and Infogramme, called Extreme sports. And one for Eidos, called Project IGI, -which I am working on for the moment.

I'm doing animation, modeling, texturing, consept artwork, storyboarding and visual design.
I know it's not as spesialized as many companies choose to have it, but since we are one 4 artists in the company, this is the best suitable way. But, I like that, to not being forced to do the same thing day in and day out.

hmm, sorry, I'm rambling.

I'm working professionally as a character animator and simultaneously (on this project at least) as a lead technical director. I primarily use Maya and Renderman. Though I have also dipped into photoshop for touching up the odd frame or for promotional material.

okay.. I'll bite..

Danny Geurtsen.. freelance craftsman of truth. I construct digital imagery. Painting, modelling, texturing, enveloping, rendering yadah yadah, basically anything pure.. Been at this stuff since oh.. 1987-88 or so. Worked for games-industry pimp Eidos Interactive before going freelance.

Speciality: Extreme high-res visuals and intense detailing.
Dislikes: anything low poly or stamp sized, abbuse of scan-related crutches, the word 'art' and all those variants derived from it.
Experiences: ranging from concepts to games to TV-visuals to poster work etc.
Goals: to find enlightenment in nature and the universe so that my sorry attempts at optical bewilderment will flourish.

[General Confusion]

I am,well, I don't know what I am???

I was the art director, who also ran the entire art department for a national trade show company, (job sucked, so I won't post any links).

Now I am head of production for a graphic design agency, however my title is senior illustrator (although the actual act of illustration comes along very seldomly). We do alot of high end packaging design, clients include, Good Humor-Breyers (I illustrated most of the Popsicle pack ice pops), Marcal, Pepsi-Cola, Mtv, and so on.

Here is their site:

www.smithdesign.com

I am currently looking to get into the entertainment industry (games, movies, etc.)as a conceptual illustrator/designer.

I was going to try Nickelodeon, until Napalm, kind of swayed me . So, if anyone knows of any leads in the NYC/NJ area, send them my way. If not, Cali is a calling!

My temp site is here, (and if you have read my updates), I am still working on my complete site, but life keeps getting in the way:

www.geocities.com/genconfusion

and down in my sig, I like overkill , and I don't mean the cheesy 80's metal group.
