Hi, my name is Jonthon Kaufman.
I am a recent college graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Game Art & Design. I have 3D skills including: Rigging, Modeling, Animation, Level Design, Scripting with JavaScript, Texturing, and Lighting. My true passions lie in Environment Art and Cinematics.
Storytelling is the driving force behind the art that I create. The rich worlds and stories of the Mushroom Kingdom and Hyrule, to the large detailed universes of Mass Effect and Halo, are very inspirational to the stories that I want to create through my art. I love communicating with other people to create worlds rich in story. I also enjoy helping stories evolve, whether it’s telling the story through an environment, a character animation, or creating a cinematic. Through my skills I plan to help create the worlds and stories for the newer generation of gamers, and help create similar worlds to those that I still enjoy.
