Bio :
My name is Fabrice Piquet, I live in France at the moment and am a student. I've always liked video games, but what I enjoy even more is making them. Since the time I discovered Half-life and its map editor "Worldcraft" I've wanted to create my own games. Year after year I started to learn and understand new gaming technologies. I drew a lot when I was in school, between 2001 and today. With my abandonned project "EXIL" I learned a lot of things, like programming, project design and more. I am curious about every part of the gaming industry.
My hope is to work in a near future in the gaming industry as a level-designer/environment artist. I enjoy drawing landscapes and creating whole universes and infusing them with interessting atmospheres and colours. My school of art help me in the compression of these things. Watching movies and works of art is helpful too in that regard.
