“I grew up in a very creative family, who nurtured my love for drawing from a very young age. I always knew I wanted to be an artist, but my specific desire to work in digital arts came in my early teens. My parents would take me to see every new animated movie in the theatre, and one day I came out of one of those theatres having decided I wanted to make things like that when I grew up.”

“I made my first render in the age of 10. I always thought 3D was something every person can tell the basics about - just like drawing. I realized how unique skills I'm developing when I went to high school and moved to another city. My new friends were amazed by my artworks and only a little percentage of them knew anything about what I'm doing. That's when I understood how narrow this genre is and that I want to follow it as my career path.”

A game developed by a team of 12 DAE students within a 48-day timeframe. "New Beginnings" by Testerep is inspired by a real-world event that took place in Belgium, where the people had to battle against the water. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the devastating waves of a new series of storm surges caused the northern half of Testerep to eventually vanish into the North Sea. However, the southern part, which had been reclaimed through the poldering of the Testerepvliet starting from the twelfth century, remained a part of the mainland. Challenge yourself to survive for 30 days while constructing the New Testerep. Erect a thriving city, fortify your buildings with dikes, and combat the relentless onslaught of water!

“I first intended to study fashion. But during the process of exploring different art mediums to express my ideas, I became more and more fascinated by 3D Digital arts. And this is what made me redefine my career choices and applied to a digital art school to specialise myself in Houdini and scripting as I found out how exciting was the procedural workflow and its way of thinking.”

"In 2016 I decided I wanted to become a comic book artist. While working on my first graphic novel (which was published in Dutch, French and English) I started to take an interest in building 3D environments and enrolled at Digital Arts and Entertainment (DAE)."
