Hello! Thanks for visiting my site.

A little information about me. My name is Melinda Lee. I'm a 25 year old artist originally from Massachusetts currently living and trying to make ends meet in San Francisco. I'm looking to get into the game industry. Why, you ask? Because characters and environments are awesome! I've always been fascinated by people and loved drawing as well as creating characters. Ever since I was a child I've wanted to create people. I'd look at comics and fairy tale books and just think of how I'd make that character fit into an environment.

What I like about the game industry is that you can create these characters, be they mystical or otherwise and bring them to life so to speak. I stumbled into the CG world by accident. I was going to school for multimedia and the school I was going to, ITT, taught us 3DSMax. It was then that I saw the possibilities of what I could do with that program and the rest is history.

My favorite tools to use are Maya, Zbrush and Photoshop, in that order. But I'm getting use to 3DSMax again.

Some of my current hobbies are surfing the web for cool images and artists (current artist that I'm obsessed with is Kay Nielsen), drinking Earl Grey tea and picking up books with cool pictures or designs. I also like playing tourist in San Francisco and looking at games to get inspiration.
