CURRICULUM VITAE
Fergui Pascual
Character Designer | Animator | 3D Modeller | Digital Painter | Rigger | Game Developer | Game Designer
I am a graduate of OCAD University's Digital Futures undergraduate, specializing in the making of video games in more of an indie focus. Growing up I had always wanted to use art to tell stories, and create immersive experiences, and I now aspire to use video games in order to create rich scenarios that allow players to lose themselves in the worlds I create. I presently work as a game Designer for Rubicon Publishing Inc.
My current main areas of focus are 3D characters and animation (modelling, rigging. texturing, and animating, in Blender), game development (javscript for Phaser [pixi], and C# scripting in Unity), 2D animation (Photoshop CS6, Flash, and After Effects), and digital painting (Photoshop CS6).
