I'm Eric Turner, an American Visual Effects Artist living in Stockholm with my Swedish wife and our three children. For the past four to five years I’ve been fully focused on learning and working professionally in 3D art, with a strong emphasis on realism. I have all the tools to do this job, from ZBrush and Maya to Blender and Unreal Engine, and I bring a deep appreciation for character design, texturing, and lighting. Before transitioning into 3D art, I spent many years as a songwriter and musician, collaborating with top artists and labels, including Avicii. That background taught me how to lead creative teams, work under pressure, and maintain a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset. I’m a strong team player who thrives on bringing a clear creative focus to every project, and I’d love to contribute to future productions.
