ryan umotoy’s Summary

I always have had an growing intrest in videogames and everything gadget related. That could be anything from computers to the next new cell phone coming out. Having a natural artistic talent (even being recognized by art colleges in high school art shows), I always wanted to become an artist, stretching my creative skills for a living. Combining the two, i decided to become a game artist.

Whether it was illustration, or 3d modeling, my style has always been more stylistic, feeling that absolute realism can become a little stale. Saying that, my personal goal is to add a little spice to the dull, over saturated realism in the industry.
