Congratulations! I live nearby :)

Hear mixed things about EA SPORTS here, some really love working there. Others have different views :P

Good luck though, great work getting the job :D

You are from Quebec right? I think you will love Vancouver/Burnaby... but bring an umbrella ^^

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words and support. It's very much appreciated. Spent a lot of time tuning my portfolio :)

@Rhino - I don't have anything in my portfolio that i made for BF2 modding because it's so old and outdated now. Showing work that old in a portfolio isn't recommended by recruiters.

@Time270 - Yes, i did make the SVD in PR but that SVD in my portfolio is a new optimized version from the old one. I think it has either the same or a similar polycount but the UV space is better and the normals were baked from a hipoly model. The SVD in PR had it's normals generated with the nvidia map filter in photoshop when Chuc textured it.

@H.sta - Hey man, i've been living in Vancouver for a couple years now. One of the first things i bought when i came here was a bike and an umbrella. I've never lived in a place that gets almost no snow at all, but rains like nobodys business.

Hey everyone. Just like always I post some of my work here and don't forget where my roots lie :)

Here's my most recent character. Still a few tweaks here and there needed before calling it completed but it's getting there.

Damn impressive! Is it tied to anything else or is it just a highly detailed character study?

Thanks Chuc, yeah it's a treasure hunter based off of other characters like Indiana Jones, Nathan Drake (Uncharted) and Lara Croft (Tombraider).
