About Jyri "SkyWay" Honkanen

I started in computer graphics about 8 years ago at the age of 14. I found Autodesk's 3D Studio Max when it was at version 3 and I'm still going with it. Along came Photoshop and all was well.

In 2004 I got myself involved with the Angels Fall First mod-project. I'm still with that team as a 3D artist/designer and we're currently aiming for the Make Something Unreal Contest's win. I've also done some cover designs for my old schools introduction booklets and some scattered wallpapers, webdesigns and there's room for some music in there too. I like to think of myself as a creative person who can and will think outside the box.

I am particularly experienced in producing models for nextgen games and although I've only worked in mod projects before I know what it is to have a tight crunch deadline which can't be delayed. The engine I'm most familiar with is the Unreal Engine 3, which I've been learning for half a year now. I also have basic knowledge of rigging and animation, plus some experience with ZBrush sculpting.

Currently I live in Kerava, Finland and I'm a student at the ARTO Game School in Helsinki. If you think my skills could be of use to you or your company then don't hesitate to contact me. I'm always ready for challenges and eager to meet new people.
