Hi, I'm Myrte van der Werff, a multidisciplinary artist based in Bathmen. I create 2D illustrations, character concepts, and 3D assets for games and client projects. I enjoy exploring visual storytelling through a mix of traditional drawing and 3D techniques, and I'm comfortable working with Unity, Maya, ZBrush, Blender, and the Adobe suite. When I'm not sketching or modelling, I love learning new tools, collaborating with teams, and sharing progress through social media; I believe in friendly communication, curiosity, and delivering assets that help bring ideas to life.
