|  Welcome, 
                I'm Steven Pabalinas, 25 years of age and I'm a Digital Artist.
 Great introduction, huh!  Well, I could go on about myself and how I used to draw since 
                I was a little kid. But I’m sure you all heard that one 
                before. Ok, anyway, I dabble in computer graphics and other various forms 
                of digital mediums. I hope to achieve quality 3-D art similar 
                and equal to Final Fantasy and various High Quality works close 
                to that type of quality! I attend the Art Institute of California 
                - Los Angeles majoring in 'Media Arts and Animations' and I'm 
                also a certified Computer Graphic Artist. I've worked with individuals 
                and small organizations providing image manipulations for print 
                or graphic designs. But because of the whole Internet downfall 
                around 1998-2000, I became without a job and my network of people 
                became smaller. I decided to become a full-time student and get 
                a Bachelors Degree in the 'Media Arts and Animation' field. I 
                am hopeful that I will be able to fulfill my dream of achieving 
                quality work in Animations both in 2-D and 3-D. I work primarily in Alias Maya, Adobe Photoshop, and Corel Painter. 
                I am sufficient but not limited to those programs. I have used 
                other digital mediums such as Discreet 3D Studio Max, Corel Draw, 
                Corel Photo-Paint, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Image Ready, Adobe 
                After Effects, and Macromedia Studio. I use whatever means to 
                bring out my artistic talents!  I 
                am now currently working for other individuals, small productions 
                and groups providing computer animations and such for their films. 
                The latest production is the "Red Storm" by Asturmas 
                Studios based in Los Angeles. It was a small 5-6 minute trailer 
                to display our understanding of a production pipeline with a deadline 
                of 3 months. It was greatly received as a great achievement and 
                proved that our team was talented enough to tackle the process 
                of production. The team had a family-orientated feel and we stuck 
                to each other whenever someone was in need. I hope to find the 
                same environment in the professional field, as I did with Asturmas 
                Studios. They are a great bunch of friends and talented artists.
 My aspirations are to find a job soon in the digital entertainment 
                business as a well rounded 3-D Artist or Digital Concept Artist. 
               I hope to fulfill my dreams in creating high quality work similar 
                to what I was inspired by. |
