Hello, my name is Alyssa Rodriguez. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I graduated from Moore College of Art and Design with a degree in Animation and Game Arts. An early influence for me was Nintendo 64 and Nintendo NES at a very young age I knew video games would impact my life. We had to take a basic drawing class our freshman year where I solely focused on working with charcoal and that’s when I became really passionate about realism. I strive to create pieces of work that make you question whether it’s real or not. After watching games like The Last Of Us, Until Dawn, and The God of War it made it very clear to me that I want to be a 3D environmental artist for a realistic video game.
