GET TO KNOW EDWARD

What hobbies do you have?

My hobbies include gaming, including tabletop games like DnD and Magic the Gathering. I am also a keen model maker with a big collection of various Warhammer monsters and Gundam figures.

If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?

An octopus, because I'd like to have a lot of arms and to be able to squeeze through very small holes.

What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses?

My biggest strength is that I don't get too attached to my work to never make changes to it after feedback, I am always happy to completely change a design if needed. My weakness would be confidence in my own work, and comparing myself to others.

Tell us an achievement you're proud of.

Having never used 3D software before Uni, I'd say an achievement of mine is how far I've come in terms of my ability in the last 3 years.

Would you rather be a wizard, jedi or superhero and why?

Definitely a Wizard. Jedi never seem to have any fun and Superheroes have far too much responsibility.

If you woke up in a in a videogame, what would your special ability be and why?

Maybe it's a bit boring, but I'd really like map markers and waypoints so I always know what direction to go in.

What was your crowning moment of your time at Escape?

My creature concept and prop from my 3rd year specialism class. I felt it was the culmination of everything I had learnt so far. I am so happy with the end result of that project and I feel it it really shows off what I can do.
