Z. Rhett Akers
Artist | Student | Digital Art

United States

I have an AAS degree in Visual Communications from ITT Technical Institute. I was going for a BA degree in game design, but they shut down the program while I was half way through school. I now make web comics with my skills and stuff while making independent games.

I participate in IGDA (International Game Designer Association) Club and Indie Game Night meetings, as well as the annual Global Game Jams that take place in Salt Lake City. (Create a game in 48 hours) Comic strips are a passionate hobby on the side of what I do cause' I just like to spread laughs. I started cartooning when I was 15 in high school and always loved to create comic strips.

I do all sorts of stuff, from modeling, graphics design, game art, traditional art, concept art, photo manipulation, cartooning, 3D Modeling and Animation and more. And of course, I am one hell of a musician. Way better musician than I am an artist, in my opinion.

I also... push carts... At Wal Mart... But I don't want you to know that. But if this info helps anyone out there feel better about themselves, let em' use it.

Here's the song my bard plays in DnD to give all other companion characters a +2 to hit [link] The Trooper by Iron Maiden... And the DM would grant more bonuses because that was his favorite song in high school as well as mine. Iron Maiden was my heavy metal breast milk growing up, I learned metal by playing their songs. Now I'm a totally awesome thrasher.
