Welcome to the portfolio website of Shell Meggersee, I'm thrilled you stopped by.
I am constantly adding new bits and bobs, so I would love for you to have a look around and see whats new. If you would like to see more examples of a particular style, please let me know, and I will be glad to dig them up for you.
A few random little bits about me:
I am a Modeler and Texture Artist with a strong Generalist background. I have been working in Dallas at a small XSI/Maya shop for about 5 years now, however I was born in Johannesburg South Africa. I inherited the wanderlust gene with my parents, who made damn sure that I got to see as much of the world as they could. Oddly I also lived in Wales for a while, before moving to the US before High School. In Dallas, I was blessed with a great High School art program taught art skills at the college level, and even had a painting hanging in the Dallas Museum of Art as a senior.
Whenever I am not making things on the computer, I must be making something with my hands. I create my own jewelry, plush animals, embroidery, crochet blankets, fabric and more. I also have a freelance graphic design business on the side.
Well, Thats pretty much me.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
