Please see my website for my latest VFX showreel, plus other content such as breakdowns and concept work: www.dmasonvfx.com

I'm a lead / senior level vfx artist specialising in Texturing, modelling and concept/pitch work.

I have lots of experience in successfully leading a team of modellers or texture artists on large film projects.

I also have strong organic and hard surface modelling and texturing skills. I have the ability to switch between departments or take on assets from concept stage through to final textured models.
