Hi there. Names Jason Gillen. This site is a collection of personal and commercial work that I have done in the past few years. I guess I will start by breaking those years down... School - I attended the Maryland Institute College of Art, (or MICA) where I recieved a batchlers degree in Fine Arts. In school, I mainly focused on drawing and 3D animation. Post School - During my time at MICA I attained an internship at Big Huge Games which turned into a full time job as an artist after school ended. My main duties at Big Huge Games are as one of the primary concept artists, and the creation of the environments in which the game is played on. I feel my strength at the company comes in the fact that I am very versitile in what I can do. Modeling, texturing, animation, environments, lighting, archtecture, characters, interface, map creation, ect... This allows me to help in areas that may be falling behind. In the past few years I feel that I have really grown as an artist. The process of working on a team of artists has been a great one. Its taught me to think in different ways. To try things you would have never thought of and become a better artist in the process. My main interests lie in the creation and visualization of characters and ideas. I really love to create different types of worlds that are inhabited by communities of creatures and cultures. It is like being a mini god of sorts. You get to create your own civilization with its own architecture, art, music, clothing, designs, ect... Pretty much anything you can think of. I hope you enjoy my works. Many of my personal sketches are from my time at school and are more like a visual diary than anything. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions... Jay Gillen |
