Hi blue world ! 🔵

Today I would like to share my best work experience with you.
It was on #Banishers Ghosts of New Eden, an AA game by Dont Nod.

I met a fantastic team who pushed me to improve and helped me create stunning environments !

Hi blueblue👋

I would like to show more of my work and will start with the first project I worked on. 🛠️
It was My Very Own LIght, a 3D Metroid Vanilla puzzle game.

My job was to take care of level art, lighting and 3D modelling. 🎨

Hello Bluesky, I'm Yann, 3D Environment Artist and landscape doodler. I came from graphic design initially but still preferred to admire the surface of the walls and look at the pebbles rather than drawing logos.
