Games Design students set to showcase their skills in international “Rising Star” competition
Level 3 Games Design & Animation student Ellis Jones, who joined the college from Padgate Academy, has designed an entry for the ‘Environmental Art’ category which will showcase his passion for 3D art, as well as the skills he has learned so far on his course. Hoping that his work has what it takes to be shortlisted, he said:
“I am really happy that I have had the opportunity to enter the Rising Star competition. The brief that has been set is a great challenge because it simulates an actual task that I would do as a professional in the games design industry. I aspire to be a 3D artist in the future so I am looking forward to adding what I create for this competition to my portfolio.”
Another entrant and former pupil of Penketh High School Katelyn Tickle, has created an intriguing and technically challenging character to submit to the competition. Driven to achieve her dream career as a character artist, Katelyn knew this was an opportunity too good to miss. She said:
“The Rising Star competition is just one of many chances I’ve had to work with industry professionals and employers during my course. The competition is the perfect way to showcase my work before even entering the job market. I am really keen to raise my profile as a character artist and hope that I can secure a role with an industry-leading studio after college.”
