About Chuck Carter

My work on MYST set my career in motion some 30 years ago. It's been that long! I've done a lot!And the past 3 Years have been crazy! And First there was Covid - and then I've been a creative director, Chief Creative Officer and meta world builder and art director. Oh - and part time illustrator for National Geographic and NASA. To say I learned a lot just these past 3 years is an understatement! And I'm always up for a challenge. This year is also the 30 Year Anniversary for a little project where I was responsible for 1/2 of the world and art creation, it was a game called MYST. And then I was lucky enough to work on some 25 or 26 games afterwards. ZED was a game I made with the help of Skymap Games and which CYAN published. A number of reviewers have written ( https://adventuregamers.com/articles/view/37927 )(https://www.geekwire.com/2019/review-myst-creator-cyan-worlds-breaks-indie-games-zed-interactive-memoir-vr/ ) that it was a moving and emotional experience unlike any game they played before. (And some hated it - it's not MYST I was told - LOL! ) What an experience! My career has been filled with a lot of pivots. Matte painting for the TV show Babylon 5, Disney's motion ride - Mission to Mars, years of illustration work for NASA, National Geographic and others - as well as art directing and producing nearly 800 illustrations for a geology book I co-authored for McGraw Hill called Exploring Geology - in it's 6th edition now I believe. In the game industry I was an artist, an animator, a designer, digital set designer and modeler. I worked on set for in game cinematics with live actors in a green screen studio as computer graphics supervisor, then as a compositor. Larger management roles included art director, creative director and art group manager.If you would like to know more - please feel free to contact me. I feel I have the experience to succeed in virtually any environment. And one thing above all else - I've worked with some of the best and brightest people in the various industries I've been lucky to be involved with. Without all of the talent surrounding me it would have been difficult to have the career I've had. So to any of you I've had the pleasure of working with, and who might be reading this - thank you from the bottom of my heart! Chuck Carter - Bangor Maine - 03/29/2023https://www.chuckcarterart.com

    My background as a game company founder has positioned me to see how all aspects of game production are tied together and I believe it helps with the path of moving into a creative director position. Ideas come pretty easily and production as a content creator and artist are my bread and butter. Finding solid talent for projects has been one of the more interesting aspects of my career as an art director, art manager and company owner. And of course, I enjoy science art with a passion for informational graphics and I'm open to projects that range from book illustration to immersive real time game like production of science and entertainment based content.
