My name is Cristian León, I was born in Ecuador-South America.
Ever since I was a kid, I was passionate about drawing . After finishing school, I began to pursue a career as an artist. I moved to Europe and continued my studies in art and illustration. I became interested in new technologies and taking my 2D skills to a different level with digital art. As a student of Computer Games and Visual Effects at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge UK, I took part in a Next-Gen games competition, sponsored by FDMX Skillset and Sony Computer Entertainment, Cambridge. I was awarded first prize and offered the opportunity of carrying out valuable work experience at Sony Studios Cambridge.
Now I have completed my studies I am currently working for CODEMASTERS-Guildford Studio as an Environment Artist on a very exciting project.
