Your Mentor's Work
Sands Kopaei
"Everyone told me to forget about trying to be a character artist, that artists have been trying for 6-7 years and that it would take me years before i get that chance. Now here i am making characters for an unannounced triple A title and already have watchdogs 2 in my resume. I feel like saying thank you to you and all the instructors here is not enough, but it's all I can say really, thank you so much for making my dream come true."

"I think i had a vague idea of how to make a character for games before but now I am much more confident. When I compare my new work with my old work it is just really better. This is the first time I was doing something realistic and it was a huge step for me and it went really well. "
Uriah Redden
"Seriously....last weekend, i was like "i'm seeing a movie where Hossein did the likeness and one of my fellow students ran one of the biggest doll companies around for years, i'm totally in the right place."
