Description

Reviews by Course Students : 

  • Edgar Y  :  Nalini is a great instructor. He is experienced and has a deep understanding of the subject he teaches. He covered a lot of things here that filled in gaps in my knowledge. As an experienced character artist myself, I can say this is one of the best courses out there on this subject. Although I may agree with some of the students regarding his accent & pronunciation of some words, to me personally, it really doesn't bother me as I can understand his English overall. With that said, I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to improve their character modeling skills in an impactful way.

When I was 10 years old everybody discover that I am a gifted artist because at a very early age of 10 I was doing clay modeling of indian goddess without taking any training. I was a famous boy in our village and near by area because of my art.

I did that till my tenth grade then I joined B.K college of art and crafts, Bhubaneswar for my BFA degree in Applied art department. I competed that in 2008. Then I started my professional career.

Since then i have never look back, My art has grown mature. I have worked for many educational Institution such as ZICA, Reliance Education and Arena as a 3d Faculty. I have got lots of love from my students from those institution.

Then I have worked in game production as Game Artist at Lakshya Digital and Dhruva Interactive in Bangalore.

Final words....I don't just teach, I believe in converting a student into production ready artist. I know, it's a huge task but I love this task. This is Nalini kanta Jena hope I will teach you soon the beauty of game art creation and make a solid career as an game artist. This vastly growing profession is waiting for you.
Last but not the list DON:T JUST PLAN, TAKE ACTION.
