We'd love to hear from you. Send us a text! The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists. Welcome to the sixth and penultimate slice from my conversation with the Dragon Lady. In this part I finally bring up the reason I wanted to talk to her: Is Myriam Catrin the world's best texture artist? Her work speaks for itself, but more than ability and talents, it is Myriam's humanity that make her one of the great and truly special artists. I am sure you will agree, when you have listened to her take on all the greatness talk. There is no sunshine without occasional darkness: Myriam shares a very personal episode, where her work broke her and how she managed to steer herself back to health again. If you want to know the innerworkings of one of the best texture artists in VFX today, the highs and the lows, Myriam shares very generously and fearlessly of her experience. Enjoy! Myriam is a fantastic artist, who's work and interests reach far beyond VFX. Do yourself a favour, please, and explore and support the amazing work Myriam also does: https://www.artstation.com/myriamcatrin Sadly her amazing comic book, Passages, is currently sold out.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.Let me share the third cut from my conversation with Manuel Huertas Marchena. When I first wanted to record Manuel's experiences, there was a certain moment that was etched into my mind: How Manuel calmly handles explosive situations in the studio. Him and I have often gone over such incidents in our conversations; moments where you wish you had it on tape. So in this episode I try to tease out of him his mindset for handling situations, where superiors try to put him under undue pressure.We also talk about the pluses and minuses of being obsessive about our work as texture artists. Manuel also shares his approach for increasing the quality of his texture work.Lots important advice for any artist working in VFX or animation.Find out more about Manuel here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/manuelhuertas/Find Manuel's work on Marvel's Echo showcased by the Foundry here:https://www.foundry.com/insights/film-tv/marvel-echo-texturingThe Naked Texture Artist is produced by Marque Pierre Sondergaard.

We'd love to hear from you. Send us a text!The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.This is the fifth episode with the matchless Myriam Catrin, The Dragon Lady, who for multiple decades have created textures and looks for some of cinema's most memorable assets in modern times. In my opinion Myriam has been producing some of the world's absolutely best texture work for decades!Over the course 4 hours in 2021, we had an in-depth and very wide ranging conversation. If you have not listened to the first four, do yourself a favour and check them out as well. In this episode we talk a lot about what artists inspire Myriam and other people, who influence and have changed how Myriam creates art. Myriam describes her ambitious comic book side project Passages and finally weighs in on, where storytelling in film today leaves her cold – particularly when it comes to one-dimensional female roles.Myriam is a fantastic artist, who's work and interests reach far beyond VFX.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.Eagerly back for the second slice of my conversation with the world's most famous texture artist, Adam Capone.This is the part I really wanted to explore: When you have an artist, or you yourself have a period in your life, where you are outrageously creative, and then it changes? What happens? What causes it? Where does it go? What does it feel like for the artist in question?Adam was a wildly creative maverick when I first met him. Over the years he has changed into something completely different. He still has a large personal output of art projects, but the subject matter and the nature of them are night and day different.What happened? Trying to uncover that, we work our way around a lot of topics that influence, shape and motivate artists. As artists we strive for perfection. But “perfection” is rarely available to us in the commercial world...Do yourself a favour, please, and explore and support the amazing work Adam does on the side:https://www.artstation.com/caponearthttps://www.instagram.com/caponeart/?hl=enhttps://creativecloud.adobe.com/learn/substance-3d-designer/web/stylized-materials-with-adam-caponehttps://www.wired.com/2012/10/ff-peter-molyneux/https://kotaku.com/play-more-than-200-ridiculous-peter-molydeux-games-righ-5898401https://kotaku.com/real-molyneux-pops-up-at-fake-molyneux-game-jam-5897949https://www.mobygames.com/person/280524/adam-capone/https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-capone-4b9590/The Naked Texture Artist is produced by Marque Pierre Sondergaard.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.Do you know Adam Capone? Probably not. He quietly goes about his work as an artist in games development. He definitely doesn't seek out the limelight. Which is odd, as he is probably the world's most famous texture artist!I had the good fortune to meet Adam when we were both studying at University of Teesside for a career in games and 3D art. I easily count him as the most creative person I have ever met – which says something after all these years working as an artist. To me, he is the next Tim Burton, we never had. So I am both very interested in what he gets up to, as well as excited to present him to you.This is the first slice of a three and a half hour long conversation. Naturally we are easing into the conversation here in the first episode, as two friends catching up, but we keep exploring more and more serious issues as the interview progresses.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.The catastrophe has not been called off. Yet. The Hollywood strikes are resolved, supposedly. But obviously it will take time to rebuild what the drought has destroyed. Hiring has started again as a trickle here and there. But the whole “strikes are over and now everybody go back to work” was of course never going to materialise. So most people out there are still hurting.This period, in the VFX industry's history, has been a grim reminder that we are living in a house of cards. Many, if not all, artists have had to have some serious reflection on their career, and what their future will look like.You know I am a huge fan of Chris Nichols. Not only because of his texture work and his passion for our art and craft – but also because he is such a grounded yet thought-provoking person to speak to. This perfectly fits with the times we are living through.This episode, I count as my most personal yet. Listening, and re-listening to my conversation with Chris has brought a lot of aha-moments and paradigm shifts for me personally. We talk a lot about our experiences being artists, and how that relates to jobs, studios and even hiring other artists.I hope this can be as instructive and helpful for you too, as it has been for me.Do yourself a favour, please, and explore and support the amazing work Chris also does on the side:https://www.artstation.com/porkpiesamuraiAlso mentioned in this episode is https://www.allanmckay.com/podcast-list-page/and https://www.instagram.com/saltyanimators/The Naked Texture Artist is produced by Marque Pierre Sondergaard.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.These are grim times. More than half of the good people in the film industry are without work these days. If that includes you too, you are certainly not alone. Speak up and share your pain with your friends and former colleagues.We need some “comfort food for artists.” Chris Nichols and I continue our conversation, where we discuss many of the things working artists obsess over: burn out, coming up with new and believable looks for creatures that never existed in the real world and many more things.It is my hope that you will learn a lot of useful stuff, and maybe even be entertained for the next 48 minutes, so as to forget the difficult situation outside of our control.Do yourself a favour, please, and explore and support the amazing work Chris also does on the side:https://www.artstation.com/porkpiesamuraiThe Naked Texture Artist is produced by Marque Pierre Sondergaard.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.I am proud to present none other than Claudia Marvisi. https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudiamarvisi/Claudia has risen through the ranks of Pixomondo, where she today serves as texture supervisor. I first came across her on an online presentation called An Asset is Born, where she spoke intelligently about texturing and more. And so her name promptly entered my mental notebook as someone I'd like to discuss textures with now and in the future.Recently Claudia graciously gave me over 2 hours of her time; where we discussed everything from balancing the demands of being a team lead and supervisor to occasionally satisfying her own individual needs as an artist. Yep, she is a dragon fan as well – and with her impressive work on House of the Dragon, she has entered herself into the pantheon of texture artists battling it out for best dragon of all time.There will of course be multiple episodes from this conversation. Here we are just getting warmed up. Make sure you check all of them out.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.I am so happy to bring Chris Nichols to The Naked Texture Artist. He is definitely most famous for painting the textures of Thanos for Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, but more than that, he is truly an artist's artist. His passion for creature work and cinema is infectious and reminds us, that no matter how successful we are, we are all just fans at the end of the day. Over the course of more than 3 hours, we had an in-depth and very wide ranging conversation. There will be many, many episodes from that conversation, but as Chris is sharing some really awesome stuff, and very freely so, I deliberately want to keep them short, so his gems do not slip through the cracks of a longer session. Make sure you check all of them out.Do yourself a favour, please, and explore and support the amazing work Chris also does on the side:https://www.artstation.com/porkpiesamuraiFooter:The Naked Texture Artist is produced by Marque Pierre Sondergaard.Support us on https://ko-fi.com/thenakedtextureartistContact us on thenakedtextureartist@gmail.comFollow us on https://twitter.com/nakedtexture and https://www.instagram.com/thenakedtextureartist/Music copyright belongs to Tycho for the song Awake - https://tychomusic.com/Additional sound effects from https://www.zapsplat.comThe Naked Texture Artist is produced by Marque Pierre Sondergaard.

The Naked Texture Artist is a podcast where VFX/animation veterans have deep and honest conversations about their challenges and growth as working artists.I am excited to present this, the first episode with my good friend Manuel Huertas Marchena. I met Manuel a million years ago, when we worked on Deadpool together. He was already doing amazing hero work back then. More than that, he quickly became my favourite ex-colleague, with whom I discuss all of the big, small and everything in between things relating to our craft and our industry. This episode is taken from a recording we did 2 years ago.Find out more about Manuel here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/manuelhuertas/Footer:The Naked Texture Artist is produced by Marque Pierre Sondergaard.Support us on https://ko-fi.com/thenakedtextureartistContact us on thenakedtextureartist@gmail.comFollow us on https://twitter.com/nakedtexture and https://www.instagram.com/thenakedtextureartist/Music copyright belongs to Tycho for the song Awake - https://tychomusic.com/Additional sound effects from https://www.zapsplat.comThe Naked Texture Artist is produced by Marque Pierre Sondergaard.
