Tayla James
Digital Artist and Animator
I'm an Australian artist who has an appetite for creation!
I love working in different art mediums and experimenting with art styles.
As a freelance artist, I have produced small scale works for many clients and often sell merchandise (charms, stickers, shirts) at various conventions. I'm currently training as a 3D Coin Artist.
I have 3 years of experience working as a 3D Artist in the game industry and have worked with VR (Oculus, Vive), mobile and PC platforms.
