James Patton’s Summary

I have worked previously as a 2d/3d Artist in the game industry and now I am involved using the same skills and knowledge creating assets for military, government and commercial applications. My goals for the next year are to grow by making myself more rounded by learning more 3d applications as well as studying more traditional painting.

I have always been involved in concept and creating art for games which started with my group of friends and our local DnD games since as far back as elementary and middle school. Painting miniatures, designing character concepts, maps and dungeons and posters for the games. Seeing my first textured 3d model hooked me in for life and Ive been in love with 3d ever since.
