David Kuo

3D Character Artist/Concept Designer/ Highpoly  Sculpt Artist.
I’m an outgoing individual who takes great interest in the field of 3D art and 2D art.
Aside from the artistic aspects of the production, I am more than eager to become involved
in any technical aspects as the world of 3D  is constantly related to technology and technical knowledge.
