Summary
Russell Benjamin Chua is a CG generalist based in Singapore, with a skill set ranging from concept art, illustrations, matte painting to high poly modeling, low poly optimization and texturing for high and low assets. He also has a tendency for over-optimised textures, low polycounts and 400ish layer PSD files. Although his style typically sways towards realism, he hopes to be a versatile artist by the end of it all.
Besides modelling and doodling, Russell likes to build Gundam and tries to straighten his messy hair.
