Personal Narrative: The Flintstones

I remember when I was a kid I loved to watch “The Flintstones”. These cartoons were the beginning of my passion for drawing as I would draw them over and over. Naturally, these drawings improved and my family began to take notice, but my grandmother was the one who recognized the passion and pushed me to pursue this newfound love. I am very grateful for her support and motivation because without her I would not be here in this new phase of my life, and I keep pushing myself further each day.
Now, years of hard work and struggles I have I’m specialized in 3D environments and textures (both hands painted and realistic). The idea of being able to create a new world full of magic and life within a 3d program is extremely fulfilling. Perhaps it
is the power to put my audience into this feeling of giving into their own adventure, or perhaps it's the ability to engulf a character or even an entire audience into the world previously limited by the extent of their imagination. The experience I strive to convey to my audience is a sense of appreciation for the small things we take for granted in our daily lives.
My aim for each environment is to have a story related to the character that occupies that environment. For example, the lighting is created with purpose because it helps to set the tone and mood for the environment so the viewer can understand and relate to the story. the line I hope one day my story can inspire the next generation to follow their own dreams, giving them the same push and motivation that my grandmother had given me to pursue my own. At this point of my life, I embrace new challenges, learning new skills, and thankful for each experience that will help me grow professionally and personally.
