Hi my name is Zach Griffin, Im 22 and live in Melbourne, Australia. Ive just been employed as a Junior Game Artist working at Big Ant Studios. I studied the Advanced Diploma of Game Development at Victoria University over the last 2 years and finished in November. I started off in 3D by modelling F1 cars for Grand Prix 4 and then moved on to modding UT2004. In my spare time, I am an artist on KartSim, a karting simulator for the PC, and also race real karts in Australian championships.

Hi everybody. My name is Elijah, but most people on the internet know me as SM Sith Lord. I'm 22 and live just outside of Los Angles, CA. Video games are one of my most favorite things in life. I enjoy editing them more than I do playing them I think.

I've been making levels for over seven years and learned from reading massive amounts of tutorials and articles and spending countless hours in various game, 3D, and scripting editors as I'm sure a lot of you here have.

In addition to that I have/am taking various programming and 3D design courses at college.

My first love was the original Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (anybody know it?). Anyways, I tried to do *WAY* too much with that engine and I've finally moved on to the Source engine and find its technology as a huge time saver.

I've started putting together an online portfolio for myself. You can check it out here:
http://www.binarydemons.com/~strike/files/engport
(my domain registration hasn't come through yet)

As of right now, the Experience and Contact Info sections aren't made yet, but you can still see a couple of my maps and what I have to say about them.

Found this site by doing a google search for "level design artist" and found that great interview with Sjoerd De Jong. Didn't know about him before, but I did know some of his work I realized after reading the article.

That's about it. I'm gonna go post the map that I just completed in the other category now.

Everyone calls me Skamp. I saw this site and thought it was great. I do graphics, presently just starting my second semester. I am 47 and saved and waited and worked 7 years to be able to go school, here I am and I love every moment. Well okay not the tests, but almost all of it he he

I hope to get to know a few of my fellow artists.

Hey everyone!
My name is Inge, and I'm a 20 year old guy from Norway (yes, haha, inge is a girls name in some countries. yuck it up :P). I've been dabbling in game design for quite some time now, mainly in the Source engine. I made a couple of maps for The Opera R2 (the HL2 one) about a year ago, though I doubt they'll ever see the light of day. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you guys here at the site!

Havoc89 · 01-16-2007, 10:20 PM

Hey all,

Everyone calls me Havoc89, but my name is Waqas (hard to say i know, but oh well...) and I am from Pakistan, but 10 years ago i moved to canada, and love it here. I am 17 years old and 6 years ago i first heard about modding, and instantly fell in love with game art, especially the 3D element. I started on Command and Conquer Renegade, and played with some of the modding tools, one of which was gmax (a degraded 3ds max). It was my first time playing with those, and I absolutely loved it. I quickly grew out of gmax and now I work quite well with 3ds Max. I have to say, some of the finished pieces here blew my mind! This is just the kind of place I've been looking for, and I cant wait to get involved here. I hope some of us get a chance to get to know one another better. Nice to meet you all!

I wish i had an online porfolio, but i dont, and if you guys want to see something, please dont hesitate to ask.
I guess this would be my latest piece. But i got loads of other crap :P

-Thanks
