Bio
Richard Fox
Stuart was hired for Project: MyWorld based mostly on his ZBrush expertise but we soon found that he had a lot more to offer the team. He is a very quick learner and was able to pick up on new software and complex shader techniques in a very short space of time. The project required all artists to be highly flexible and adaptable in order to tackle a variety of different art disciplines and Stuart, though not as experienced as the rest of the team, impressed us with his eagerness to take on any art tasks as well as his ability to produce incredibly well-crafted quality assets. Stuart conducted himself extremely professionally throughout his time at Realtime Worlds and put in a fantastic effort on what was an incredibly challenging and unusual project. He already has a good, solid set of skills and technical knowledge under his belt and possesses the drive and desire to continue developing into a hugely talented and versatile artist. Stuart would make a great addition to any art team out there and I certainly would have no hesitation in working with him again should the opportunity arise.
