About
I build stylized worlds and cohesive visual experiences for games.
I'm Deneb Cerrud, a multidisciplinary game artist working across 3D, environment art, 2D illustration, UI, animation and real-time game production.
Background
My background spans illustration, animation and game art, which has naturally led me toward projects where different visual disciplines need to work together.
I'm comfortable moving across the visual pipeline — from modeling, texturing and environment creation to interface design, animation and final Unity implementation. Depending on the project, that can mean building a modular 3D environment, creating layered 2D artwork, developing gameplay assets or polishing the final real-time presentation.
I'm particularly drawn to stylized projects where strong silhouettes, color, readability and personality matter as much as the individual assets themselves.

How I Work
I like working at the intersection between visual development and production — not just creating assets, but understanding how they need to function together inside the game.
My approach is iterative and gameplay-driven, with close attention to camera distance, readability, performance and visual consistency. I enjoy taking visual ideas beyond isolated assets and carrying them through to the final in-engine presentation.

Beyond Games
Outside game development, I'm also a musician and producer — another space where I'm constantly thinking about composition, rhythm, atmosphere and how different elements work together as a whole.
