Simon Barsky - Environment Artist

Synthesizer · August 12, 2009 at 7:25 AM

The company I worked for, Grin, has just shut down, so I'm now looking for work as an environment artist. I have 2 years of experience working as an environment artist on AAA titles for PC, Xbox 360 and the PS3. I also have 1.5 years experience in TV commercials.

I am proficient in next gen techniques, and I have a strong focus on making assets that look great and still work well with gameplay.

Yeah, solid profile. I'm impressed by the Decayed Factory Rooms, looks like pretty much everything is custom content. Good luck in the future mate!

Awesome Simon, can't remember seeing the desert part looking like that Must have been while I was on vacation!

Actually they're just my unit test levels I was never happy with how the real level was put together....

you should think about removing the third image (the yellow), since the lighting is really bad.

Hmm, ouch, I just pulled that screen over to my other monitor, and it looked quite bad indeed. Macbook screens seem to magically make anything look good. I've overwritten that screen with something more neutral.
