3D Instructor

Hi there my Name is Sean Fowler and I have been a 3D Freelance artist for 9 years. I graduated from Full Sail University with a Bachelors of Science in Game Art, which pretty much means I am specialized to work in games, be it prop modeling and textures, character modeling and, straight up to animation cycles in maya. You could say I do enjoy a lot of the disciplines in the game production workflow. I am very passionate about what I do, and I’m very committed in learning new things everyday. I wanted to find a way to give back a little so I felt this would be an excellent place to start.
