ABOUT ME
Elizaveta Gaevaya
Look Development, Texture, and Environment Artist
Hello! My name is Elizaveta and I am a Los Angeles-based CG Artist with a passion for context-based storytelling through immersion. I love developing fully realized original characters and environments for both film and games through highly detailed texturing.
As a Look Development Artist, I enjoy producing works of art with a wide range of styles and using texturing and lighting to elicit an emotional response. I am particularly drawn to darker, moodier tones in my work.
When I am not at the computer, I love going out and meeting new people, going horseback riding, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
If you would like to get in contact, send me an e-mail! I'd love to chat!
