Summary
Hello,
My name is Daniel Kyle I am a concept artist working the film and game industries.
I come from a more traditional art background with an illustration degree and with experience doing traditional props, scenic paintings, and backdrops for theater. I made the jump into digital through a MFA degree to learn digital painting, matte painting techniques, and concept art . I'm always continuing to learn the latest trends of the digital art form and the software to create it, pushing myself everyday to improve and go further into my artistic journey!
