My Name is Josh Harris. Currently I am in my final year of study in Falmouth University doing game development as a 3D Artist. My area of expertise is in enviromental props, however that is not stopping me from making characters as I try to have somewhat of an understanding on all platforms of 3D art as best as I can incase there is a situation where that skill may come in handy for example single character commissions are very popular in certain corners of the internet, or if I desire to work as an indie developer I may have to cover multiple areas of art as indie studios are often small. Upon graduation I would have spent 3 years on the course, and before that, I had 2 years of study at Cornwall College’s course BTEC Games for Industry Level 3. In this time, I have honed my skills as an artist and worked on several projects for my assignments; personal projects, and also some commission freelancer work in my spare time. I have learned a wide variety of skills and newly found knowledge in Falmouth University, primarily how to work in a professional environment, in a team, and on my own.
In my time as a member of a team, I have taken on a leadership role on several occasions as the allocated scrum master as we followed agile development. So I am used to being under an element of reliance and pressure. Furthermore, I work well as an individual in my own set projects that I have previously done for commissions. I personally have found myself desiring to be a freelancer, it started off with me making a bunch of miscellaneous assets for fun and learning purposes, then gaining the confidence to share these on to the Steam Workshop. To my surprise, people enjoyed the things I have uploaded, and that allowed me to branch out and even take some commissions for people. Doing this on a professional level is something I desire, be this alone or being hired to be on a contract for a company, as I do enjoy teamwork when given the opportunity.
