Join us on Thursday, June 5th at noon for a special event with 3D Character Artist J Hill! J will explore what it really means to make art that stands out in an increasingly competitive digital landscape.
With over 15 years of experience working on titles like APEX Legends, Titanfall 2, Evolve, and Back 4 Blood, he brings a wealth of knowledge—not only about 3D character creation, but also the strategies that help work get noticed.
J will walk through key elements of strong visual presentation, the value of storytelling in your portfolio, and the importance of going beyond your primary discipline to develop new skills. He’ll also share real-world examples, insights from his own career, and practical advice for building an online presence, promoting work, and maximizing opportunities.
Whether you're a student, aspiring artist, or a working professional, this event offers tips on how to share your work with more purpose, clarity, and impact. Learn how to make your art stand out and connect with the artistic community to create more possibilities for yourself. Stick around until the end of the presentation for a Q&A with J! Following the presentation and Q&A, J will be available for in-person portfolio reviews. Bring your latest work and get some valuable feedback from a seasoned industry pro.
