Pierre Thériault (Art-Machine)

Objective

Seeking senior position primarily as Modeler and/or Texture artist, Art Direction, Concept, and would also consider other positions. Particularly interested in working on projects that require a great deal of imagination and creativity, while pushing the art of games to another level.

Having the chance to call on all my various skills at once is a particular pleasure.
Summary I'm a skilled and imaginative artist with a strong digital imaging background. I have 7+ years professional experience as an illustrator and Photoshop colorist in the comic book industry, and texture artist in the gaming industry. I have expert knowledge of digital image formats and creation software. I am trained in 3D development software such as Maya with a solid grasp of advanced shader attributes such as Normal Maps.
