| About: |
|
My name is Jacob Christopher and I enjoy making art for games. I received my B.A. from Full Sail University in April 2009. I have spent the last 5 years studying computer game art. |
| When I was young my primary interests were Lego’s and Video games. I would spend hours designing levels for Sonic the Hedgehog on graph paper or making mechanical things with Lego’s, like trucks, cranes and mechanical arms. I would usually start with something simple and continue adding on to it until I ran out of Lego's. |
| As computer graphics evolved I became more interested in the 3D aspect of games. Unreal was the first PC game I bought, not because of the graphics, but because of the editor it came with. I never completed any of the levels I started because I kept trying new things. I really enjoyed designing levels, turning my ideas into a sort of reality, but it wasn't until recently that I realized that it could become a career. |
