About
My name is Sybren, I am 28 years old. My passion lies in creating immersive environments for games doing hard-surface, organic, foliage, props and bringing environments to life with set dressing. I’m consistently trying to expand my skill set by actively seeking out and learning new techniques. Lately because I am continuously getting more experienced, I am more confident in my feedback and enjoy having more input on the development process by the means of paintovers, planning, etc.
From an early age I was playing video games and being creative (origami & drawing). This made game development my first choice, I eventually chose to specialize myself in Environment Art during my studies.
Some of my hobbies include playing the piano, bouldering, photography, occasional tabletop games, D&D and of course, playing video games.

I worked on creating the 3D environments and vehicles for their driving simulator & several other educational mini-games.

I worked on a project that sadly got canceled. For this project I helped with the concepting phase and continued down the entire game art pipeline to create environments, props & enemies.
