Tahoe Bautista
3D Game Artist - Looking for work
Fairfield , United States

Aloha, everyone! My name is Tahoe Fedil Bautista. I am from Maui, Hawaii and I moved to Fairfield CA. I graduated in 2018 from Ringling College of Art and Design with a BFA in Game Development. I focused on 3D environments with characters. In 2020, I began pursuing my Master’s degree at the Academy of the Arts University to sharpen my skills as a 3D character artist. My hobbies are drawing realistic and stylize characters for my commission work.
