Who Am I?

Who I am and how I got into the profession

My name is Dmitry — I am a Level Artist and 3D artist with over six years of experience. My interest in how video games are made appeared many years ago, and I made many attempts to learn the profession through YouTube tutorials.

First studio and shattered illusions

In 2019, I landed an internship at my first studio, and after successfully completing it, I was hired. I'll say right away: all my rosy dreams about how great it is to make games were quickly shattered by reality. However, thanks to great enthusiasm, I managed to overcome all the difficulties.

Current work at BattleState Games

Since 2023, I have been working as a Senior Level Artist at BattleState Games on the Escape from Tarkov project, where I create game locations: modeling, level assembly, environment development, lighting setup, and optimization.

Past projects and freelance work

Previously, I participated in the development of projects such as Enlisted, War Thunder, and TESO, creating models of buildings, weapons, and costumes. In 2021–2023, I worked as a freelancer on Modern Warships, where I modeled ships and worked on environments.
