Study Task 1: Review your presence



My practice: world building, bringing stories to life (character and background design)
I’ve always focussed on 2D digital art but hope to expand my horizons over the next few months and try Maya. This is I could potentially start to model environments and definitely so I can block out scenes. I’ve been toying with texture artist for the future? I’m making Maya necessary to my LAUAN603 so that I learn it.

Skill set:
Academically- I’m confident at writing e.g. COP.
Pre production, but I’ve a lot to improve on. I need to improve my painting skills (lighting, colour, perspective etc) and technical understanding of Maya.

Future: I’m pretty set on finding a job within a studio, most likely not in Leeds but around London initially so that I can commute easily.

Online Presence:
Instagram – Uploads are sporadically, I should upload more of my developmental thumbnails even if I think they’re rubbish.
LinkedIn - I’m pretty inactive so that needs work, but I keep all professional platforms away from personal accounts which is good.
My showreel is now irrelevant to my practice, so I need to create a good body of work for my visual development portfolio. When I have more work I will put a website in motion.
