Who Am I?

My name is Dmitry — I am a Level Artist and 3D Artist with over six years of experience. My interest in how video games are made began many years ago, and I made numerous attempts to master the profession through YouTube tutorials. In 2019, I landed an internship at my first studio, and after successfully completing it, I was hired. I'll say it straight away: all my rose-tinted dreams about how amazing it is to make games were quickly shattered by reality. However, thanks to great enthusiasm, I managed to overcome all the difficulties. Since 2023, I have been working as a Senior Level Artist at BattleState Games on the project Escape from Tarkov, where I am involved in creating game locations: modeling, level assembly, environment development, lighting setup, and optimization.

Previously, I contributed to the development of projects such as Enlisted, War Thunder, and TESO, creating models of buildings, weapons, and costumes. From 2021 to 2023, I worked as a freelancer on Modern Warships, where I modeled ships and handled environment work.
