Bio and resume
Contact: emmanuel.d.chavez@gmail.com
My name is Daniel Chavez. I was born in France in 1988 and raised in a few different places.
Since i was very small i've always been scared, intrigued, amused by things I've witnessed, whether they were nightmares, random events or even things that surround me. I've been drawing since as far as I can remember and in some way I have always wanted to create and give life to those visions I have.
I grew up there for 3 years, and moved to Canada because of my father's work. My mother left him and i stayed there for three years, during which i discovered video games with my older brothers. Doom, mario, and the other games were a considerable part of my day. Then i moved back to france at the age of 6. I discovered drawing as a important hobby of mine during that time. Since then, i've been drawing on and off for multiple reasons. Until i moved to reunion island, where i was rather isolated from the rest of the world, so i discovered conceptart.org and started learning more about drawing and its possibilities. I also had a week internship at the local 3D studio, where i learn basics of animation in 3DS Max. I then started being more serious, paid less attention to other things, and finally got to move at my father's in Arizona.
I love to learn new things, and discover new ways of working.
