SFASX Character Art Winner 2020 : Emily Harrison

May 6, 2020May 6, 2020 Dan Dudley 0

Congratulations to Emily Harrison from Teesside University, our Character Art winner of Search For A Star 2020!

Emily reached the final interview after scoring highly across all criteria in the project stage with her Kid character, as well as achieving the highest Creative score across the challenges. Working her way up through Sumo Digital Rising Star over the past few years, it’s been fantastic to see Emily’s progression culminate in a Search For A Star win this year!

Emily discussed her art, knowledge and ambitions for her future games art career, in interview with Marcus Whinney, Senior Character Artist from nDreams; Mathijs Kapteijn, Character Artist from Sumo Digital; Ashley Riza, 3D Generalist from TT Games.

Our team of expert Character Art judges said that Emily has an excellent portfolio and was very confident throughout the interview, showing an strong passion for art and a real drive to bring her work to the games industry.

Our judges also said that Emily has a great attitude to self-improvement, showing a huge amount of growth in a short space of time, paired with a very considered approach to both research and her artwork.

You can check out Emily’s Character Art challenge project for SFASX below:

Congratulations once again to Emily, it’s an excellent achievement!
