Application for Concept Artist, Modeler/Texturer, and Environment Artist Thread - MERP | Middle-Earth Roleplaying Project mod for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

1. Contact Information: moody.designer@gmail.com - Skype: artfulshrapnel

2. Modding Related Skills: I am experienced with Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter, Maya, Zbrush, and a handful of utilities for 3d asset creation.

I know how to model in both low and high poly, with my main focus being prop and environment design. I can UV map and texture my own work, as well as create normal, spec, alpha, or whatever other kind of map is needed. I've got a handle on node-based shader networks, though shader creation is not my strong suit. I can make character models, but I'm not an animator and don't have a ton of experience in modeling for animation; modifying a base character mesh to make new characters out of it is well within my capabilities.

I'm a trained painter and concept artist. I have a background in figure painting and fantasy art.

Other (possibly irrelevant) skills: Familiar with 3D printing technology and prep, background in graphic design and web design, basic ability to script or edit script (I get how code works, though I've never dealt with TES code specifically).

3. Post a sample of your work: My portfolio is online at Moodyillustrator.com. If you'd like I can post things in-thread, but I think this page does a nice job showing things off.

4. Lord of the Rings Knowledge: I dunno... I read the books before the movies came out, and made it about 3/4ths of the way through Silmarilion before I lost my copy. Enjoyed the films and their take on the visual style of middle earth, which seems to be a big influence on your visual style here.

5. Why you want to join MERP-TC: I enjoy modding and learning, and want to hone my skills as an environment artist for the fantasy genre.
