Hello, my name is Xavier and I am the artist/ 3D Modeler for the game we will be working on called Shellshufflers. As the main artist of this project my job will involve making concept sketches of assets, but primarily creating and rendering game assets in 3D Modeling software.  For a good chunk of my education I have always had an interest in art especially in regards to drawing and sketching. This is guided further by the fact that I get to create and model assets for this project. I first took a major interest in art through my avid interest in video games and animation I had throughout my childhood. I always found myself curious and inspired the worlds that could be crafted in games through various concepts. My two favorite concepts in games I have always enjoyed would be story and characters. This you could say played a huge role in my inspiration to want to create game worlds of similar creativity and spectacle. I would say some of my greatest game influences would be Sonic the Hedgehog, Metal Gear, and Yakuza. I am happy to be able to work on this project and hope that you enjoy our game.
