While not specifically game-related, there's a profile of Obsidian Entertainment environment artist Daniel Cuatt on the Los Angeles Times, in which they discuss his time at the Laguna College of Art + Design, how it set him up for success with the work he has done on the free-to-play title Armored Warfare, and how he intends to mentor others with the same interests and passion. A snip:
As an environment artist, he creates 3D models of buildings, cars and other props that form a game's setting, whether indoors or outdoors. These are the visuals that game players will encounter on the screen.
It's that mixture of traditional art forms painting, sculpture, storytelling and cinematography that Cuatt honed as a game-art student at Laguna College of Art + Design, where he graduated in 2014.
And now he has a chance, along with other alumni, to mentor and show current students what post-classroom success can look like.
Cuatt, who works at the Irvine-based video game developer Obsidian Entertainment, will join more than 20 LCAD game-art graduates during "The Reunion Tour," an exhibition of works by game-art alumni that will run until April 30 at LCAD Gallery in Laguna Beach.
The alumni featured are currently working at independent game studios and with game developers and publishers, including Blizzard Entertainment, Disney Interactive and ZQGame Inc.
"It's a really nice environment here, and I do want to give back and share what I have learned with others," said Cuatt, who works on the online game Armored Warfare.
