'''How did you get to work here?'''<br />I just turned up here. I arrived with my portfolio - I had no computer experience whatsoever, and I came here entirely on the strength of my portfolio. And the management here said, "Right, you've got two weeks to learn D Paint". I had never touched a computer before. We had Apple Macs in college. But we hated them. | '''How did you get to work here?'''<br />I just turned up here.

'''You thought that using computers wasn't doing 'proper' drawing?'''<br />Yeah. But I realised that computers were the way forward. They were taking over the easiest jobs. That's why we didn't like them. But now we know why - it's a production thing and it works incredibly fast. It's cheaper. So I had to join in. | '''You thought that using computers wasn't doing 'proper' drawing?'''<br />Yeah. But I realised that computers were the way forward. They were taking over the easiest jobs.

'''So do you play games as an artist or a gamer?'''<br />Both really. I kinda like Crash Bandicoot 2. I like a lot of racing games, I like a fast game. I like the look of Command and Conquer, but my mind span just can't hack a computer game that lasts longer than fifteen minutes. It has to end in fifteen minutes. | '''So do you play games as an artist or a gamer?'''<br />Both really. I kinda like Crash Bandicoot 2. I like a lot of racing games, I like a fast game.

'''Do you find that because you are a creative person , you can't just get on and enjoy playing them because you are always looking at them with a creative eye?'''<br />Precisely, I just look for the inspiration from films, books, comics. I do like to look at a wide variety of visual material. | '''Do you find that because you are a creative person, you can't just get on and enjoy playing them because you are always looking at them with a creative eye?'''<br />Precisely, I just look for the inspiration from films, books, comics.

'''What tools do you use for graphics?'''<br />Alias and Matador. I've got about three years knowledge of Alias. I would like to try some more software packages out, but Alias seems to be the main thing to use for development suites and stuff like that. | '''What tools do you use for graphics?'''<br />Alias and Matador.
