We also got time to chat about his career and art in general. Hope you guys enjoy watching this one and my thanks again to Thomas for giving up his time!     WE NOW HAVE A TIP JAR WITH KO-FI BUY US A COFFEE! ko-fi.com/digitalartcast   Check out IFCC a great online festival⯈ https://ifcc-croatia.com/​ If you guys wanna support the podcast remember to shoot me a like or a comment and check us out on iTunes and Soundcloud also or if you are listening remember we have a YouTube video here

Just before we finally set up an interview date he let slip that he had had the pleasure of working on Cyberpunk so I though what better time to nail down a time and place and chat to him about his work. Ross is an OG Composer and sound designer with work dating back to the original Crysis and even Timesplitters, you can find Ross's links below and make sure to show him some love on his social channels!     Ross's Links:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0JgeCRG5gHSGb9MVV_hXqQ Twitter: https://twitter.com/rosstregenza?lang=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tregenza/

His approach to learning and of course painting has always been something that made people stand up and notice his work. From his early days at CRYTEK to his now stellar career working for Marvel Cinematic Universe Maciej has done it all. On top of all that he's also co founded Learn Squared one of the biggest online entertainment schools and of course has now directed his own short anime film called "Showtime" What's next for him? What's he been up to during lockdown?

His consistent great work and ability to convey any kind of mood or tone with his audio really impressed me. As the podcast is now 4 years old we begin to mature and look to other disciplines to inform and strengthen our own. Darren was an easy pick for that first venture into something different. We talked about his composing work from Bastion to HADES and how he felt he's grown since the inception of Supergiant Games. We also looked back and tried to pick apart any advice or ideas he now had thinking about his span and career in audio. My thanks again to Darren for giving up his time.

I quickly found out that he had worked on some of the biggest franchises in the industry. Starting from Art Centre Fin left early to join the God of War team where he stayed for just a year then moving onto ILM and working on massive movie projects. He's spent many years travelling and taking in the living world until recently where he moved back to LA and has now opened his own studios TERRAFORM. We talked about his humble beginnings and his adventures in art and try to make sense of this stellar career.    Thanks again to Finnian for giving up his time to talk to me.    0

Hannah's personality and passion for the industry are infectious and her ability to dive into multiple tasks and projects always inspires me to keep pushing in m own work. I was absolutely thrilled  when she agreed to come on the podcast and chat about her work and life up until this point.  We talked about her early beginnings in the hills and lands of Scotland studying game art then moving onto QA testing and eventually game design and art. We also talked about mental struggles and overcoming barriers and blocks when energy and morale is low. &nb

He had recently joined the ranks of One Pixel Brush and had been producing amazing work. Outside of that however Danar had been publishing works that were making most 2D artists as "how?" his process of blending 2D, 3D, photos and textures made us all wonder if there was some sort of magic behind it. Thankfully I got the opportunity to sit down with Danar and talk about where he started and how his different industry gigs led him to this amazing style he now uses daily.   We of course broke down his process and approach to working on The Last of Us Part 2 and what his feelings were whi
