Josu Martin
Senior 3D Artist / Surface Artist / Teacher
Bilbao, Spain

I am a digital artist with a passion for 3D character art. I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in Digital Art and Animation from Digipen Institute of Technology (2010-2014).

My expertise lies in sculpting, modeling, and shading. Over the past few years, I have honed my skills working as a 3D Generalist and Look Dev Artist.

When it comes to software, I possess advanced proficiency in Zbrush and 3ds Max. Additionally, I have substantial experience with Maya and have some familiarity with Blender, as well as painting tools such as Substance Painter.

As I continue to evolve as an artist, my style has leaned more towards a cartoony aesthetic. However, I am versatile and comfortable working in various styles, as I have been doing over the past two years.

During my spare time, I enjoy sketching on paper, which often serves as the foundation for my 3D designs.
