NICE TO MEET YOU!
My name is James McCartney (Pixelated_Astronaut online) and I'm a pixel artist and animator studying game art at George Brown Polytechnic in Toronto, Canada.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING:
Graduated from the Art and Design Foundations program at Loyalist College in 2011.
Spent years being mostly self taught, learning all I could about whatever interested me at the time.
Heading into my third and final year of the Game Art program at George Brown Polytechnic specialising in 3D animation.
I am familiar with Unity, Unreal Engine, Maya, Motion Builder, Blender, Aseprite, and Photoshop.
INSPIRATIONS AND GOALS:
My biggest inspirations are modern and retro pixel art games, themes of mental health, super heroes, weird and grotesque creatures, comic books, and all things space! My goal is to create games that are not only fun, but speak to you.
I am a work in progress. Stay tuned for more updates!
