= About Me... =

I'm currently living in Brussels, capital of Belgium (and not the opposite as some people might think...^_^). I'm chinese of origin, but was born on Belgian soil, which makes me comparable to a banana (yellow outside and white inside haha). I enjoy video games, going out with friends, drawing and reading books. Having been raised by cook parents, I'm a jolly good fellow when it comes to food, specially when it's delectable =)

Compared to many fellow friends, I started to study art quite late when I was 18 at Saint-Luc Brussels. It was a great place to discover various artistic disciplines and meet many growing 2d talents. But it was only 4 years later at Larian Studios that my 3d skills really emancipated. Curious by nature, science-fiction, fantasy as well as mythology are my favourite subjects of inspiration. Epic tales, dramatic situations, tragic destinies of human genres are my fancied leitmotiv, wherever they come from: books, radio, films, real life...

I particularly like realistic style with a fairy / moody influence, but I also greatly enjoy varying my work by doing cartoon styles as well.

I am currently employed at Larian Studios. I guess I can be considered as environment artist, modeling & texturing levels and environment while assisting level-design by creating buildings and all the assets and props needed to fill such levels. But since the team is pretty modest in size, I also get the opportunity to have a go on almost every part of the artistic creation in a game development : special effects, character modeling, animation, camera dialogs editing etc... This is how I started to have a pretty clear general overview of a game developpement art pipeline.
