Crystal Bretz

I am a passionate and diligent character/creature artist with 9+ years of experience. My background includes working on many different types of media such as; TV episodic, short films, feature films, games, and animated features. One of my greatest skills is how flexible and versatile I am with my art styles and knowledge. I am always happy to improve and learn new skills or software whenever presented with the opportunity. I have a strong passion for 3D creatures as well as mentoring others. I have been a judge for numerous art competitions, published artwork and educational content in magazines, blogs, live streams, tutorial sites as well as a speaker at conference panels. Leading and mentoring others to have success in VFX and Games is one of my favorite parts about this industry.
