CULLEN SWENSON
2D/3D Character and Concept Artist
About
I grew up loving books and all sorts of games, the fantasy stories allowed me to find joy in everyday life which fed my imagination. I was always obsessed with drawing, first it was simple shapes then I started combining those shapes into character designs that start as simple sketches. Now I am a 3D Character and Concept Artist, photographer, and videographer. I first gained a groundwork in fine art and experimental electronic art studying at Colorado State University. Meanwhile I was learning and coaching parkour as well as learning how to film high intensity movements using gimbal equipment. After graduating with a Bachelor of fine arts from CSU, I set off to pursue 3D art and design at Gnomon School of Visual Effects initially online and then in person. Currently living in Los Angeles as a Gnomon Alumni.
