ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Pimpaka, also known as Pim or Pimpakkard. I completed a high school specialized computer course and pursued a game production degree at the University. Over the past six years, I have made numerous projects, showcasing my interests such as illustrations, animations, environment art, technical art, shaders, and more. Currently, my focus lies in technical art, animations, and environment art aspects of game development. Rather than confining myself to a specific role label, I'm flexible to adapt to any role in art since my aspiration is to create stunning visuals for games. Although in the past projects, I felt like engaging surface-level in the game production, I am keen on delving deeper to enhance my skills.

These are my hamsters, they are nothing relevant to game development but I want to show since they're my emotional support.
