Grace Lemay
3D Character Artist
Hello!
My name is Grace Lemay, if you haven't already read the banner. I am 24 years old and from the state of New Hampshire in the United States.
I currently work for local access television, and have fallen in love with the world of storytelling, video editing, and overall creating.
I am currently in my final year of school at the Pixels and Polygons School in Newton, MA.
More about me...
Growing up I have always been fascinated with animation, creating my own characters to go along with the stories of the cartoons I was obsessed with in my early childhood. This obsession gradually evolved and inspired me to be creative in my own ways, creating my own stories, my own comics, my own animations (RIP Adobe Flash), and of course my own characters. This hobby continued into my high school years until I made the decision that I wanted to go to college to pursue what I have always loved doing.
I attended the Savannah College of Art and Design in the fall of 2017 only a few months after graduating from high school. I really enjoyed my time there, earning a 3.0 overall GPA, but as life goes there were road blocks. I was only able to attend for one year. However, I returned to college in 2019 at The Pixels and Polygons School, where I am currently studying and in my final year, working on an awesome final project. I really have enjoyed the past 3 years at this school. I have been able to throw myself into what I love, and have had the opportunity to work in a variety of mediums such as editing and 2D animation utilizing Adobe's Photoshop and After Effects programs, 3D modeling and 3d Animation in Maya Autodesk and Adobe Substance Painter, 3D character design and rigging using Zbrush and Maya, and last but most definitely not least basics of game design which utilizes Unity engine and all of the previous programs listed .
I currently work for local access television as a production assistant, where I work hands on with other town departments and independent producers. I also concept and create town content such as shows revolving around local town events, places, and people. In my own time I really enjoy playing video games such as Skyrim, Fallout 4, and the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. I also really enjoy working on personal projects whether its illustrating, concepting a new character design, editing, or animating.
