Nerijus Karvelis

My name is Nerijus Karvelis. I started this course with the idea of pursuing digital painting and character design, but after being introduced to 3D modelling I decided to keep developing my newfound passion. There has been quite a few ups and downs throughout the three years at the course, yet I managed to learn numerous techniques which will be an immense help in the future, pursuing a job in the games industry. My future goal is to land a job as a 3D Environment Artist at a AAA company.

I was always interested in more stylized rather than realistic games. Therefore my FMP was heavily based on the stylistic choices of games like World of Warcraft, Spyro and Dungeon Defenders 2. Trying to find a middle ground between those was fairly challenging, for the sheer reason of them all being stylized yet emphasizing different aspects in their own ways. I have chosen to portray the medieval times, trying to retain the grim atmosphere, yet still keeping it cartoony and welcoming. The goal was to create a game-ready area in which the player could both interact and explore the environment.
