Ever since I was three years old I have been playing video games, mind you I wasn’t a professional by any means, but i still played. Since then though, I have been stomping heads of Koopa’s and killing ninjas. Most “Gamers” just pop in a game, and play for an hour or two, then head out with there friends to the mall. I see videogames as more than just trivial entertainment you do on a bus, video games to me are pure self expression, or story driven pieces of art.

When I go to a store to purchase a random game off the shelf, I not only look at the back to see what its like, but to see what companies are behind the game that I hold in my hands. I appreciate all games for what they are and how hard people have worked on them, just to provide me a little satisfaction when I play it, and I hope to provide the same happiness to others.

At the moment I am a senior in high school, finishing up the year. In June, when I finally receive my diploma, I plan on taking a few college courses (Anatomy, Physics, etc.). However I would also like to gain an internship at your company. I hope to perfect my skills as a 3D Character artist and also further my knowledge of the industry by joining your company.

To give you a reference of my skills, I own an online portfolio that you can view at your leisure. The website is: devin-dow.squarespace.com

The 3D Models were created on a Mac using the program Cheetah 3D, mind you not even six months ago I had never used a Mac or that program in my entire life. I am completely self taught. The Minecraft section is to show my skills as a level designer, those were created on the Xbox. Hopefully we will talk soon.

Thank you.
