Summary

My name is Enrique Perez Soler and I am Spanish Software Engineer currently working in Stockholm. I started as a Game Developer and switched to Game Artist to expand my skills and expertise.

I have been nurturing my drawing skills since a very young age until I finally got a chance to switch roles in my current company once I have worked there as a Game Developer for some time. (Find the games I worked in at www.elk-studios.com)

I have been selftaught in traditional art (color pencils and ink sketching) since I was a kid and my main focus at first was in superheroes and comicbook art. In 2017 I bought my first drawing tablet and began to draw digitally.

In 2018 I participated in 2 video game projects as concept/visual artist, 3D modeller and animator. One of them was "TIMELAPSE" a 2.5D rhythm shooter game I did with a group of 7 international students in university (link: https://projecttimelapse.wordpress.com/ ) and the other was "The Cimmerian Island" a VR/Pixelsense light-sensitive screen co-op horrror game, this one we presented to the Swedish C Awards 2018 and got nominated for "Best Interaction Design" and "Technical Excellence" (We didn't win, but it was quite the experience!

For my Computer Engineering Bachelor Degree thesis project I designed a game that used the mechanics of Gamification as an alternative method for teaching in schools. It didn't turn out as good as I thought because I had to be the programmer, artist, level designer and the project became a bit overwhelming given the deadline established.

Since 2019 I've focused on creating my own drawing style as well as my own original art. Additionally, I have expanded my interests and have embarked (and will embark) on the learning of storyboarding, 2D/3D modeling, character design and animation; and screenplay writting; to push forward my storytelling and personal projects of mine involving storytelling.
