ARTIST STATEMENT
Jacob Larson creates digital 3D sculptures, textures, and environments for animations and games, in which he strives to capture the same feeling of excitement and joy that he got from the media he grew up consuming. Starting out on a virtual reality video game, Jacob gained experience making small compositions, and environments with in-game tools, and eventually migrated to industry software, like Autodesk Maya, Blender, and Adobe Substance Painter. Taking inspiration from the video games that he plays has helped him to develop a style that is consistent, but flexible.
