Available to hire
Hi, I’m Larissa Hostetter, a passionate and skilled 3D Character Artist from Las Vegas, Nevada. I recently earned two Bachelor’s degrees from Southern New Hampshire University: a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and Web Design and a Bachelor of Arts in Game Art and Development. I thrive on challenges that push my creative boundaries and I love creating both stylized and photorealistic characters. I’m proficient in a wide range of software including Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Lightroom, and I’m also comfortable with 3DS Max, Maya, Mudbox, ZBrush, Unreal Engine, Blender, and more. I enjoy turning concepts into compelling visuals and continually expanding my toolkit.
My work is fueled by motivation, determination, passion, and pride in my craft. I am outgoing and personable with strong communication and problem-solving skills. I maintain a 3.9 GPA and earned Summa Cum Laude honors on two occasions. I even sold a kids coloring book on Etsy that I designed in Procreate, which showcases my ability to create/vectorize ideas into tangible products.
