I’m Jan Schmid, a visual artist, and creator based in Germany. Better known by my socialmedia handle, jankschmid, my artistic medium focuses on graphic game design art. I am adept atboth 2D and 3D game assets. While I started as a hobby artist, I began working professionally in thegame design field in the last six years.I primarily work as a Hard Surface Artist but am often referred to as an “allrounder,” as I amexperienced in all aspects of 2D and 3D game assets. Within the 3D game industry, I have a deepunderstanding of the industry standard for 3D modeling and rendering but take expectations aboveand beyond into emerging technologies and trends. I have developed the 3D aspects of many gamesincluding rendering and animating characters, props, vehicles, and environments. My design skills areversatile and can adjust to any aesthetic and style based on the game. I have created vehicles andweapons in fashions from World War Two era to steampunk to futuristic and more. I also am adept atcreating environments that will transport players into completely new realms. Beyond the 3D realm, Iam also experienced with 2D creation and design. I enjoy character modeling and creating NFTs,where I can play with concept art, texturizing, and painting to create engaging products. I enjoyworking closely with game design artists and animators to create a successful product. My love forgames makes me a wonderful team player who is able to meet all deadlines and cooperate with myteam.I currently serve as the Lead Hard-Surface Artist at 314 Arts, an indie-development studiobased in Germany. My most recent project with 314 Arts is Projekt Z, a free-to-play first-personshooter game combining World War Two with a Zombie occurrence on a remote German island. Inmy free time, I enjoy freelance projects. I created Drippies, a unique collection of NFTs and lifestylebrand, with artist and animator Florian Tappeser and team. The Drippieverse is a platform combiningdigital NFTs with physical collectibles to create aesthetic experiences and community within theWeb 3.0 space. I created artwork for Wobblebug, a tokenized musician and alter-ego ofGrammy-nominated artist and DJ, Wuki. Wobblebug is the first tokenized musician, using the NFTs toallow fans to become stakeholders in the music career. These emerging creative projects have beenexciting to pursue and continue to inspire my practice. I often lead online workshops and tutorials on3D modeling, sharing my knowledge with larger communities. My passion for game design continuesto guide my creative path.
