Hai! :>
​
I’m Shannen, a Games Design grad! I was inspired to become an Environment Artist after discovering 3D at uni. I love the idea of taking a really cool concept and bringing it to life in a world you can explore! :D
​
My first experiences of games were; Warcraft: Orcs vs Humans, Starcraft, Banjo-Kazooie, Super Mario 64 and Conker's Bad Fur Day (ikr the nostalgia!!) and I've been seriously hooked ever since! Nowadays I mainly play; World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Dota, and Hearthstone (Blizzard fanboy much kappa).
​
My gaming history has definitely had a big influence on what I want to create as I'm leaning much more toward stylized rather than realistic. I simply find it more interesting. :)
When creating environments I like to think about game-play and player interaction as well as how it might tie to the story (if it has one).
​
There's still a lot I want to learn to make me more efficient and knowledgeable of workflows and the development pipeline. I'm so excited for the future and I can't wait to be a part of making some amazing games! :D
