Xenia Sunye (Makiblue)
Where are you currently located?
Barcelona, Spain.
When did you first realise you wanted to work in creative media?
If I have to be honest, since a very young age art has been my way to ease my mind.
Not to get too deep but I needed it, so as an adult I kept the habit. It became more than that when I started college (audiovisual media), where I liked a lot of things but I never felt the same way/passion as I did for art (illustration).
So after college, and being really confused about my future, I decided to go back to my starting point and go after the art career.
What are your career goals?
I'd be really pleased If I could get a job doing full rendered illustrations or character design/concept art.
When did you first realise you wanted to work in creative media?
I was finishing my Cinema & Literature Licence when I realised I wanted to pratice and work in this field rather than just expand my theoric knowledge. I love Pixar/Disney movie since I was a child, I just never saw it saw as an option because I was not alsways confident about my artistical skills.
What are your career goals?
I would love to work in every amazing places in this world and learn from the best.
When did you first realise you wanted to work in creative media?
I've always wanted to do something with my Artistic hobby. During work trial days in high school, I came to know about Game Art. Of course, I've been playing games always myself, but like me back then, I think people don't see what's behind just the videogame they play. Afterwards graduating from high school I enrolled in a multimedia school with the study branch focused on game art.
What are your career goals?
My goals are to work in an enjoyable Indie game team. I prefer doing 3D modelling and sculpting at the moment.
