Character Modeller/Texture Artist (work for fun)

Hey, my name is Graham. I am looking to get my feet wet with independent game development. I am a character modeller and texture artist, however I can model and texture environments, props, sfx, ect, if needed. I am just looking to add to portfolio and have a little fun. (Willing to work for money, royalties, or no money)

I am a graduate of the Art Institute of Vancouver - Burnaby with a diploma in Game Art and Design. During my studies I focused on developing my skills as a Character Modeller and Texture Artist. I was also modeller/texture and concept artist for the game production project "Bitt Warriors"; the first source engine mod at any Art Institute.

Qualifications:
-Advanced Diploma in Game Art and Design
-Proficient in Maya and Photoshop
-Team player who works well with minimal supervision
-Experience with Unreal 2 and Source engine.
-Quality Assurance tester on 6 titles for Electronic Arts Canada (5 shipped)

I don't have a lot of experience with normal mapping techniques and sculpting tools like Zbrush/Mudbox, but I am willing to learn if those skills are needed.
