My hero in the Game Art industry is Natalie Asport. I fell in love with her work when I found out she was the designer of the weapons and vehicles for Just Cause 3. I also found out later that just like me Mortal Kombat was her influence to get into the gaming art industry. After researching her, I was able to contact her via social media and she became my mentor. Though I am just starting, her guidance through my schooling and art techniques make me feel as though she saved me from wasting my talent. Natalie started out as a 3D artist with LDE and in 2014 landed a job with Avanlanche Studios as an evironmmental artist. Shes also spoken at various event such as Playcraftings Women in Games. She an educator teaching once a week at NYU's Gaming Center, teaching the tools and techniques needed for 3d modeling. Last but not least she is writer, musician, and chef. All of these charcteristics make her a leader in the Game Art industry and in life.
