| Hi, my name is Vitaliy Naymushin. I've worked as an artist in the video game industry for the past 5 years, I have 6 shipped titles and have worked at 3 different studios. I have previously worked at id Software and most recently have gotten a job as a Senior Character Artist at Blizzard Entertainment... |

| I had been drawing since I was 4. I remember calling up Nintendo when I was like 9-10 because my dad found a classifieds ad for Nintendo so I called them because I wanted to make games. The woman was very nice to me over the phone. I'm sure she thought it was funny. Little did she know... |

 |


| Well I'm a 3D Character Artist currently working for Neversoft Entertainment on the Guitar Hero games, My real name is Donovan but most people call me Don.. .lazy people...
Before working at Neversoft I was at Surreal Software in Seattle. It was there that I got my start in the games industry... |
|

 |


| I haven't got a beginning like most game artists where they say: "I've been drawing since I was 1 day old" etc. In fact i didn't really get into any form of art until just before college. I was first interested in pursuing art when I saw Concept Artists previsualising for Star Wars episode 1... |
|

 |


| My goal is and always has been to do what I love every day, and get paid for it :)
participating in online competitions is a great way to show yourself to the industry and open up for future opportunities to reach that goal. I hope to be able to enter and finish many more competitions in the future. |

| I started drawing when I was 3 and obsessively drew from comic books until High School. Under the advice of my Art Teacher, I turned my focus to getting a career in Classical Animation, but shortly into my time at Art School I was introduced to 3D (which is the area where I decided to focus my education). |
