I got into making game art through VR I really enjoyed what other people were making and decided to disassemble them and see how they were created. Reverse engineering them as such so I could create something the same way they did. From there I developed a passion for game art creation which led me to get a bachelor's degree in game art at Staffordshire university passing with a 2/1. Among my standalone pieces of art, I have also made a few itch IO games with my friends for game jams. Two of the ones I was a part of during my course at university were entered into a competition, winning competitions those being Pirate Jousting and Construction Catastrophe. I am really interested the game creation and although I can't create a game all by myself, I am super intrigued by all the other disciplines and seem to get surprised by new techniques and methods in my own discipline of game art daily.
