About Me

 
Photo
Hi, my name is Damien Fournet, and "Homelet" is an old nickname that refers to scrambled eggs, I won't explain here, but I got a thing for eggs in general... Would I have chosen this now ? I guess we will never know !

I would define myself as a versatile 2D artist with 3D skills, and about 10 years of experience as a Digital Artist, including 5 in the video games industry. 

Adaptable to a wide range of styles, I can follow art direction and have a global understanding of projects and specific technical needs and boundaries.
I also like teamwork and really enjoy bringing creative ideas and solutions to the table.
As a fast learner I'm always curious and eager to discover new tools or techniques.

My past experiences cover work for TV series projects, short films, 3D art for real estate and DTP, but working for video games has always been a goal as well as a passion.

Good to know: I speak both French and English and am a permanent resident in Canada !
