My name is Riccardo Minervino, born in 1977, in Milan, Italy. Since I was a little boy I liked to draw, and I always liked to play video games. So, after my high school graduation in Arts in 1996, I started to work as Graphic Artist in the biggest and most important italian video game company, Milestone studios.

I have years of leadership and teamwork experience. I try to constantly improve my abilities as Technical Artist, by studying new technologies to integrate into games and tools. I can communicate effectively with both artists and programmers, help to plan, develop, and maintain asset pipelines, and train other artists to execute the art pipeline efficiently.

More than 15 years experience with Photoshop and 8 years experience with 3D Studio Max, I have excellent skills in texture creation, digital painting, pixel art and image retouching, and very good skills in low-poly modelling. I'm also a creative and innovative person, I do my job with passion and with excellent problem-solving abilities.
