I’m a self motivated and driven individual, always wanting to improve my skills and work with other talented people. My portfolio reflects this idea, learning a variety of digital editing and creative tools. In my free time, I often work on my own story ideas, draw digital illustrations, and work on personal Blender models. My career objective is to join a game studio, helping to produce and collaborate with others on the team. I can help assist from 3D modeling, texturing to even QA testing if needed. A long term goal for the industry is being able to part of the group that brainstorms story lines and characters, being able to be a copywriter or content writer for game narratives. Still, being able to support a team is my drive to keep improving. https://www.darienrouse.com/resume daily 0.75 2023-01-27 https://www.darienrouse.com/work daily 0.75 2025-08-05 https://www.darienrouse.com/work/new-portfolio-item monthly 0.5 2023-06-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6234e994eec1f0049d78d52f/ed45d656-f76b-40ae-9016-7a64d9410743/Ankeny-Logo_GIF+Loop.gif https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6234e994eec1f0049d78d52f/465ee1d7-25b1-4466-a283-eb0fecec135c/Illustrator.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6234e994eec1f0049d78d52f/53ac72e5-6ffa-42b3-ae86-58ebee008552/Photoshop.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6234e994eec1f0049d78d52f/4d183a71-8699-4dee-9585-a93644e6fb66/Ankeny-Logo_White+Matte_GIF+Nonloop.gif Work - Ankeny School District Logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6234e994eec1f0049d78d52f/cf1754d9-4f5d-4d45-b906-6c3714496913/Ankeny-Logo_White+Matte_GIF+Nonloop.gif Work - Ankeny School District Logo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6234e994eec1f0049d78d52f/ed45d656-f76b-40ae-9016-7a64d9410743/Ankeny-Logo_GIF+Loop.gif Work - Ankeny School District Logo https://www.darienrouse.com/work/robot-animation monthly 0.5 2023-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6234e994eec1f0049d78d52f/0c1a512c-17eb-402b-94fd-c74b3195ab6a/RobotAnimation_RepairButton3.png Work - Interactive Robot Animation - Repair Button.
