“It was so much fun for me because I thought of it as the equivalent to oil painting,” Ian told me. Ian immediately began using computer programs that allowed him to experiment with various 3D creations. The cinematics in the popular video game Starcraft shifted his attention to 3D art at the age of 13. I was so worried about ruining his masterpieces, but he didn’t seem to mind at the time.”Īlthough Ian loved painting with his grandfather, it turns out that painting wasn’t Ian’s true calling. “He would create these immaculate landscapes,” Ian said, “and then trust me to add in bits and pieces like some clouds or snow on the mountains, after showing me his techniques. He partially credits this to his grandfather, who gave Ian access to his oil paints and encouraged him to contribute to his work. Ian knew he wanted to be an artist from a young age. Here, he shares how he’s reached this level of success and how he hopes to inspire others in the future. Ian and his team have won multiple Emmys for his work in a popular Superbowl commercial and multiple Game of Thrones episode intros.
When he’s not producing incredible animations at Elastic, the agency where he works, he’s selling his own custom texture brushes for Procreate. Ian is a digital artist based in Los Angeles.
