“During his time at Fishbeat, Daniel was an invaluable asset in helping guide the artistic direction of our projects. In addition to designing, modeling and animating the main character of our last game, Dan also produced a teaser website for the project, created numerous particle effects using our proprietary tools, storyboarded several cinematic sequences for every level and provided the rest of the team with a fresh and unique perspective that only he could bring.”
-Zach Aikman, President / Producer / Software Developer, Fishbeat. -
"Dan has a very unique style that brings a new flavor to any project. He's very determined, and can accomplish a large amount of work in a very short time. He has a deep understanding of what makes something look aesthetically pleasing, and can, with what seems like ease, introduce his own style in a way that makes it seem naturally surreal. Dan was an amazing artist at Fishbeat, and I recommend him to anyone."
-William Towns, Technical Director, Fishbeat -
“A dedicated concept & CG artist brimming with ludicrous, innovative and amazing ideas. Dan excels in bringing these ideas to life in his work.”
