MIKE BANKS - Game Artist / Designer
Welcome to my website. Hope you enjoy seeing the art content that I have created over the years. Just to let you know I am always trying to better my work so I am always adding new and updating my art content.
Now a little about me I have an extreme passion for modeling and designing in 3D wether that be working with any of these programs Maya, Zbrush, Substance painter, Unreal Engine, Blender or Photoshop. I also like to draw 2D concept art and design or re-design technologies. I dabble in c++ gameplay programming and animation. I have worked with sound and particle sprites in the past. I use to beta some of the top games for the fun of it.
My interests for landing a career job right now would be ideal in working with space exploration, transportation, cybertronics or videogames. Anything sci-fi sparks a huge interest to me and gets my brain juices flowing. Ideal work environment would be to work at video game studio or office building, designing and/or overseeing or working along side fellow teammates. Collaborating and designing or just being a part of the NASA space exploration team designing living habitats for humankinds interplanetary survival or working with the EPA to design new ways to make earth a safer and cleaner place to live!
