HEY, I'M DOM!

An American artist living in Irvine, California. I began my journey to become a concept artist and illustrator in 2014. Three years later I attended Laguna College of Art and Design earning my bachelor’s degree in Game Art. From there I went on to pursue my passions further by working for industry clients both large and small, as well as guiding the next generation of artists how to find their skills in art, along with their own voice and identity. With a technical toolkit that includes Photoshop, ZBrush, and 3ds Max, I excel in creating cinematic environment art and "story moments" that prioritize mood, lighting, and narrative depth.
