My name is Mihail Lupu. I'm a 3D artist specialized in character/environment design, modeling/texturing and material development for games, cinematics and films. I am currently working at Gameloft as Lead 3D Character Artist but I'm always interested in working on new projects as freelance.

With a strong traditional art background i have the ability to follow concept art very closely, to be a part of the art direction team and have the capacity to adapt to any given visual style. If you like my work and want me to be in your projects as 3d artist, feel free to contact me.
