Hi! I'm Dani, a professional (game) artist from the Netherlands. I have worked on a lot of games, often as an Environment Artist, occasionally as the Art Director. Whenever I can, I pick up some illustration work as well. I love drawing, whether that's digital or pen and paper. I built my own portfolio website where you can view both my professional work as well as my own creative endeavours. Go to daniellemaatdesign.com and feel free to have a look around! I'm currently working on the cute Dutch citybuilder game POLDERS (wishlist on Steam!!). This leaves me with a bit of time left for one or two other projects :) Skills: - 3D modelling - texturing in Substance Painter - level design in Unity or Unreal Engine - narrative design - environmental set dressing - creating an art style from scratch - 2D concept art - Pixel art/animation in Aseprite - Digital illustration - Mixed media - Traditional illustration I would love to talk about your project and maybe I can be of help :) - Dani
