Iv'e Always been inspired by video game characters and how almost all the time there is unique and subtle approaches to each one, wether it be the way they look or how one is different from the other. Anyway I'm truly inspired by the Gears Of War franchise, with both the Locust and COG being represented in special ways. Kevin Lanning is one of the lead character designers of Gears Of War.
Kevin did as most artists do, and got an education at a college that would hone his skills. And this is something i really want to do as well, I believe college is one of the few steps that must be taken in order to achieve your goals. He attended the Art Institute of Dallas with his brother, he studied character modeling for around two years then learned as much as he could with applications to further advance his skills with modeling.
And as for now, he is currently employed at Epic Games were he does what he loves. To me this is a great example and inspiration for what i want to do, the general ideas and sometimes weird thoughts portrayed in our minds can be one of the greatest art standpoints out there. And character modeling and concepts are what i really want to do. Kevin Lanning is one of those people who has done and still is doing character modeling and design. And to me that shows that anyone can do this, as long as your determined and know that what you want to do is worth every aspect of the cause.
