My name is Finella Forsyth-Grant.

For as long as I can remember, I have been incredibly passionate about 2D art; both traditional and digital. I took an interest and extended my skills into 3D and mixed media during my bachelor’s degree. I have been improving since to further develop my story telling to create liveliness in my work effectively. As a fast learner, I love teaching myself new software and techniques to express emotion in my models.

I am proficient in Blender, Photoshop and Substance Painter with a strong focus on exaggerated proportions with unique and visually appealing designs. I am experienced in creating game-ready assets optimised for real-time rendering in Unreal Engine, with a deep understanding of high poly to low poly workflows to create game ready models. I enjoy collaborating with game designers, concept artists, and animators to collectively bring concepts to life.

My name is Finella Forsyth-Grant but typically go by Finellaj on my socials. I am 21 years old and I have been drawing for around 8 years, 3D modelling for 3 years, and 3D printing for 2 years.

I am striving to be 3D game artist in the future, specialising in assets creation, texturing and character development. I am very familiar with software such as Adobe Substance Painter, Adobe Stager, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, Blender, TopoGun 3, Unreal engine 5, CuraMaker Slicer, IdeaMaker Slicer. Yet, I also have partial experience in Autodesk Maya, Autodesk Fusion, NukeX and Unity.

I personally really enjoy character modelling and 3D printing the most. Being able to effectively turn a 2D image into a 3D object is something I'd like to perfect, especially when I can turn it into a printable model and you can see and hold in person. I found a new passion within 3D modelling after starting my first degree and it's a skill I'd like to build on moving forward and hopefully learn more working within the industry
