Summary

  • I am an artist with 3D Modeling , Texturing and Animation Skills
  • I love Video Games ,i started playing since Sega Mega Drive 2. ( The Lost Vikings as well , it was probably first Video Game i played that was made by Blizzard) I became a huge fan of "StarCraft" and then "WarCraft: Reign of Chaos / Frozen Throne". Starting 2002 and until now i am still playing WoW , but for last 5 years it's mostly "Overwatch". I don't really play anything else but Blizzard's games my whole life
  • I do have understanding of how GameDev works and i think i have good understanding of Blizzard's style since it's been 20+ years i am a fan of it . ( I even have World of WarCraft tattoo sleeves )
  • I do have skills that i can increase very quick if this going to be my full-time job.

I couldn't get into GameDev when i lived in Kazakhstan, the market was / is too poor for this industry and when i moved to US i needed some time to figure out all immigration process and stability for me and my wife , it took me little longer to do different types of jobs ( including tattoos , just because i am an artist) to get to this point when i am giving it try. I don't have education in GameDev but i am a good artist and i do have understanding of Blizzard's games style and some knowledge of making video games myself. I know there are candidates that just graduated exactly for this and they might be better option than me , but if you'll give me a chance to work even for trial period , very soon i can prove that you wouldn't regret it.

I am responsible adult who is married for 10+ years , handled immigration with no attorney and language when everything just started , doesn't afraid of any work , has no drama and taking problems as challenge . If i am getting any chance to start work with Blizzard , i promise that you going to see i'll do my best.
