About

Hello! My name is Valentina Hawes, I’m a 3D artist and indie game dev, working in the industry since 2016. I specialize in creatures and characters for video games and animation, but I’m also passionate about tech art! I love exploring illustrative and unique art styles in 3D, and developing technical workflows for modeling and shading to create something new and interesting.

Currently I’m the character designer + modeler for Little Kitty, Big City, making all kinds of game art and merchandise :)

I’m also the co-chair for RVA Game Jams, my town’s homegrown game dev community! I handle operations and organize all of our big events, from the monthly meetups to the gallery shows to the 3-day game jam retreats. This group is very special to me and is also my outlet for non-commercial projects and games - just making games together for the fun of it!
