| About
me |
|
In my spare time I enjoy a wide variety of
interests, including literature, languages, history, science,
film, music and video games.
As I feel it important to my career
in game development I invest a lot of personal time in playing
and studying a wide
variety of Japanese and Western video games and studying new
techniques and technologies that can help me become a better
artist. I also try out new software and art styles.
I have a
keen interest in all aspects of video game development, from
design to business, so I spend my spare time learning
and studying as much as I can and keeping in touch with a wide
network of game industry professionals all over the world.
