Alexander O.

I am a self taught 3d artist/digital sculptor, based in the UK. My background is in physics, having studied for a degree in astrophysics but my passion is in art, particularly character/creature design. Towards the end of my 20’s I decided to make more of myself. As such I studied for my degree in my spare time with the Open University, which is one of the worlds foremost distance learning institutions. Towards the end of my degree I started thinking about what I wanted to do afterwards. I had been tinkering with digital art most of my life but I hadn’t considered making a career out of it until then and I thought ‘if I can get a degree in physics, I can do this too’. Thus, I began studying any and all online tutorials I could get my hands on as well as reading what books on the subject I could find and a fair bit of experimentation as well. The fulfilment that I felt from my work on 3d art and design by far eclipsed my love of science; it felt like I had finally found my calling.
