Bio :
My name is Fabrice Piquet, I am living in France and I am currently a student in Belgium. I've always liked video games, but what I enjoy even more is making them. Since the time I discovered Half-life and its map editor "Worldcraft" I've wanted to create my own games. Year after year I started to learn and understand new gaming technologies. I drew a lot when I was in school, between 2001 and today. With my project "EXIL" I learned a lot of things, like programming, project design and more. I am curious about every part of the gaming industry.
My hope is to work in a near future in the gaming industry as a Technical Artist (or maybe an 3D environment artist). I enjoy drawing landscapes and creating whole universes and infusing them with interesting atmospheres and colours. My school of art help me in the understanding of these things.
I also like making tools and programs for working faster.

-Chrono trigger
-Mirror's edge

-The Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind
