Summary
I consider myself to be a very versatile professional 3d artist for videogames with about 10 years of experience.
During my career i had a chance to work on many different projects that required me to develop skills in character, hard-surface and environmental art, although of these i definitely prefer character art.
In particular, in the last few years i developed a love for stylized handpainted characters, do to my work on Dota 2 skins.
I have an extended knowledge of softwares like Zbrush, 3dsmax and Photoshop which are the tools i use the most.
When it comes to handpainted textures i prefer to use Mudbox or 3DCoat, while for PBR texturing i use Substance Painter mostly.
